Hi there, I’m Michael 👋

I’m a software engineer from Switzerland 🇨🇭 who likes robots and embedded systems. My interests are in real-time embedded systems, non-linear optimization and its applications in robotics.

I’m currently working at ANYbotics, where we’re building a robotic workforce for industrial inspection.

Open Source Work

• OCS2: A MPC toolbox tailored for switched systems used for legged locomotion and mobile manipulation.
• PolyMPC: A tool for real-time nonlinear model predictive tracking and path following, for which I implemented an SQP-based nonlinear problem solver.
• CVRA robot software stack for the Eurobot competition. See their GitHub for more open source/hardware work.

Open Hardware Work

• CAN to USB adapter compatible with the SLCAN protocol.
• Vacuum pump controller for a robot gripper with a pressure sensor for feedback and connected via CAN bus.
• ToF distance and color sensor board connected via CAN bus.
• Tiny CAN-connected IO board featuring 4 digital inputs and 4 PWM outputs
