👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRufus Wong is a robotics-focused L4 Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building motion planning, perception, and control software in C++, Python, ROS and Rust. He has moved between academic research and industry, developing trajectory optimization and arm motion planning for mobile manipulators at institutions like KTH and companies including Aeolus Robotics and Path Robotics. His background spans embedded systems, industrial automation, and AR/VR prototyping, giving him a practical edge in integrating perception (OpenCV) with real-world robot hardware. Based in Columbus, Ohio, he specializes in locomotion and manipulation for humanoid and omnidirectional platforms and enjoys turning research papers into working demos. Colleagues rely on him for shipping robust, production-ready planners that bridge simulation and deployment. An under-the-radar strength is his ability to prototype across engines (Unity/Unreal) and low-level firmware, which helps accelerate end-to-end robotic solutions.
