Top SchoolSylvain Joyeux is a director and co-founder of TideWise, combining 20 years of robotics and software engineering experience to commercialize unmanned marine vessels that reduce risk and cost of operations at sea. He leads product, engineering and design while sitting on the board shaping business strategy, drawing on prior roles developing AUVs at DFKI, the FlatFish project for Shell, and as technical director at 13 Robotics. A software architect by training, he created Rock, an open-source robotics framework that remains central to TideWise’s autonomy stack and reflects his focus on robust long-term autonomy and system integration. He also contributes to backend and DevOps work in notable open-source projects like Buildbot, improving Kubernetes integration and Python 3 compatibility—an indicator of his hands-on ability to bridge research-grade robotics with production-ready infrastructure. Based in Rio de Janeiro, he blends deep academic credentials (École Polytechnique, ISAE-SUPAERO, PhD work at LAAS/CNRS) with practical leadership in industry-grade autonomous systems.
