Hi, I'm David

I'm a Robotics Engineer

Currently building Hermes Vision, using AI and computer vision to make weed and invasive species management more efficient. In my free time, I love to explore the outdoors, build robots, and turn my daily problems into overcomplicated engineering projects.

Master's: Carnegie Mellon University

Bachelor's: University of Wisconsin - Madison

Current Projects

Autonomous Navigation in Densely Vegetated Environments

Autonomous navigation systems are suboptimal in vegetated environments due to their inability to distinguish between traversable and untraversable vegetation. Fusion of 2D and 3D perception and proprioceptive feedback enable wheeled robots to more accurately assess the traversability of their environment based on their capabilities.
