Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolScott Chow is a Senior Software Engineer and robotics researcher with 10 years of experience building motion planning, simulation, and ML-driven control systems for high-DOF robots. Currently applying his expertise to planning and packing with robotic arms at Berkshire Grey, he brings a strong research background—PhD/MS in Robotics from Oregon State—where he published at ICRA, RAL, and IJRR on safe, low-cost trajectory generation. His work spans end-to-end simulation pipelines (Gazebo, ADAMS, ROS/MoveIt) and practical productionization in warehouse automation, reflecting both rigorous academic validation and hands-on systems engineering. Comfortable teaching and mentoring, he has developed robotics coursework and led student labs, and his early projects include multi-agent scheduling and flight-path visualization, showing a knack for translating research into useful tools. Notably, he blends dynamics-aware simulation with machine learning to prioritize safety and efficiency in real-world robotic deployments.
