Senior🎓
Top SchoolRikard Nyström is an experienced software engineer and IT consultant based in Stockholm with nine years of hands-on experience building robotics, automation, and computer vision systems for academic and industrial settings. He has led lab automation efforts—designing orchestrated scheduling, safety, and decision-making software—that bridge industrial robot arms, liquid handlers, and imaging hardware into cohesive, production-ready workflows. Rikard’s background in computational physics and embedded image processing underpins practical solutions such as compact barcode/pose detection packages and real-time vision on constrained hardware. He has taught and developed master’s-level coursework in laboratory automation, giving him uncommon experience translating complex research needs into robust engineering and educational material. Currently contributing at Komatsu Forest and Avriance, he combines B2B communication and procurement experience with low-level systems engineering to move projects from prototype to deployed operations. Colleagues would note his blend of academic rigor and pragmatic delivery—particularly his knack for making advanced robotic systems reliably work together.
