[Teaser] The Fundamentals of Robotics - Peter Corke, Witek Jachimczyk, Remo Pillat | Podcast #136

Peter Corke is a distinguished professor of robotic vision at Queensland University of Technology, serving as the Director of both the QUT Centre for Robotics and the ARC Centre of Excellence for Robotic Vision. His research focuses on enabling robots to see and applying robotics in fields like mining, agriculture, and environmental monitoring. He has held visiting positions at Oxford, the University of Illinois, Carnegie Mellon University, and the University of Pennsylvania. He earned his undergraduate and Master’s degrees in electrical engineering, along with his PhD, all from the University of Melbourne.

Witold Jachimczyk manages the Computer Vision and Automated Driving development teams at MathWorks. He worked on the Image Processing Toolbox(™) prior to leading the development of Computer Vision Toolbox(™) and Automated Driving Toolbox(™). Before MathWorks, he worked at Data Translation developing machine vision software and at Polaroid on embedded systems. Witold holds a B.S. and an M.S. in electrical engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute.

Remo Pillat is the MathWorks development manager for the robotics and autonomous systems group, which focuses on providing a set of robust algorithms and simulation tools for autonomous ground vehicles, robot manipulators, and UAVs. Prior to joining MathWorks, Remo’s research at the University of Central Florida (UCF) focused on multisensor fusion, state estimation, and environment modeling for autonomous ground vehicles. He was the chief software engineer for UCF’s self-driving car and responsible for vehicle control as well as real-time obstacle detection and tracking.
