Summary
Toshiharu Tabuchi is a robotics software developer with 10 years of hands-on experience building embedded flight firmware, sensor stacks, and simulation tools for multicopter systems. He designs and implements high-performance, safety-focused firmware on ARM platforms, including Kalman filters, dual-GNSS integration, and GNSS-denied control using optical flow, and applies test-driven refactors to keep avionics reliable. At Microdrones he led small teams to deliver cloud-backed flight-data analysis and automated problem detection while planning bench and flight tests for major releases. His background spans mechatronics research and production management, where he cut vibration and manufacturing waste through CAD-to-CAM automation and CNC workflows. Trained in mechatronics with a Nanodegree in self-driving systems, he brings a rare mix of control/optimal-control research experience and practical firmware debugging (data races, memory issues) across real flight systems. Based in the UAE, he’s also interested in self-driving vehicle tech and agrotech, often bridging research ideas into field-deployable solutions.
