Summary
Robert Sun is a founding engineer and roboticist with a decade of experience building end-to-end robotics platforms that span electro-mechanical design, real-time control, embedded systems, and scalable robotics software for robots-as-a-service. A Stanford-trained computer scientist and electrical engineer, he combines low-level expertise (assembly, FPGA/Verilog, mixed-signal circuitry) with higher-level ML/data-driven methods, feedback control, and CPU/architecture know-how. At Dexterity he has led teams creating SDKs, domain-specific debuggers, and data pipelines to enable massive-scale deployment and support of fast, precision motion systems. His background includes ultra-low-latency FPGA work at Two Sigma, experimental series-elastic actuation research at Stanford, and hands-on PCB and motor control design—evidence of a rare full-stack robotics skillset. Driven to “bring real robotics to everyone,” he pairs rigorous mathematical modeling of dynamical systems with practical engineering for production robots.
