Perception & Autonomy Engineer for Robotics

Trusted by robotics researchers and industry teams

From research-heavy robotics problems to robust systems tested in real-world conditions.

Sergiusz Lebedyn

CEO
Delivery Couple

Michał implemented autonomous docking on our robot and successfully deployed it in a real factory environment.

Michał Antoszkiewicz

Team Lead
Flyps

Michał matches the technology to the business problem without overengineering. He gets things deployed.

Kristaps Koks

Former Team Lead
Squad Robotics

Michał consistently pushed the system toward robust real-world performance instead of quick fixes.

Michał Nowicki

Associate Professor
Poznań University of Technology

Michał combines research creativity with the rigor needed to turn early-stage ideas into validated, working solutions.

Why robotics teams trust me

Independent technical perspective

My PhD and engineering experience taught me how to break down complex robotics problems, test competing approaches, and select solutions based on evidence rather than assumptions.

Independent project ownership

I work effectively without constant supervision. I identify what needs attention, investigate the root cause, drive the work forward, and involve the right people when additional expertise is needed.

Better decisions through structured validation

I do not commit to the first plausible solution. I compare alternatives, define measurable tests, and use the results to determine what should be implemented, improved, or abandoned.

Real solutions

Systems that actually get deployed.

❌ PROBLEM

→ robot oscillated near the dock
→ vision pipeline produced desynchronized data

⚙️ SOLUTION

→ two-stage docking: coarse and precise
→ separate acquisition from perception

✅ RESULT

→ industry standard (99.9% success rate)
→ stable FPS (no drops over time)

❌ PROBLEM

→ factory could not be mapped reliably for production deployment
→ inconsistent maps prevented stable robot localization across the facility

⚙️ SOLUTION

→ customized SLAM for sparse-loop industrial environments
→ improved trajectory alignment and constraints handling for large-scale mapping

✅ RESULT

→ stable factory-scale maps suitable for real deployments
→ enabled long-term autonomous operation inside an industrial facility

Choose the level of support you need

From technical uncertainty to a working robotics system.
‍
Start with a focused assessment or bring me into the project to solve a concrete engineering problem.

Robotics
Technical
Assessment

2–5 business days

What I'll do:

→ Assess the technical feasibility and risks
→ Review system architecture, sensors, software, and data flow
→ Identify assumptions that require validation
→ Define the next engineering steps and priorities

What you get:

✓ Technical assessment report
✓ Architecture and technology recommendations
✓ Risk register and validation plan
✓ Prioritized engineering roadmap

START WITH AN ASSESSMENT

Best for companies:

✓ Applying for funding
✓ Evaluating vendor proposals
✓ Planning a custom automation project

Robotics
Engineering
Sprint

For ongoing projects

What I'll do:

→ Solve engineering problems
→ Work directly with your team
→ Analyze logs, sensor data, and deployment failures

What you get:

✓ A working solution instead of another hypothesis
✓ Faster progress toward deployment
✓ Your team focused on the right engineering work

Frequently Asked Questions

▶
Do you work remotely?
Yes. Most engagements are fully remote. On-site workshops are available when needed.
▶
Do you sign NDAs?
Absolutely. I regularly work with confidential robotics projects and I'm happy to sign an NDA before reviewing your system.
▶
What happens after the first call?
We'll discuss your project, your goals and challenges. If I believe I can help, I'll recommend the most suitable engagement. It is typically a Project Assessment. If not, I'll tell you honestly.
▶
Do you work with existing engineering teams?
Yes. I can work alongside your engineers, technical leads or external vendors. My role is to strengthen technical decision-making, not replace your team.
▶
Do you guarantee success?
No. Robotics projects are too complex for anyone to honestly guarantee an outcome. What I do guarantee is an independent, structured engineering approach focused on reducing technical risk and helping you make better decisions.
▶
Can you review proposals from software houses or robotics vendors?
Yes. An independent technical review before signing a contract can save months of engineering work and costly redesigns.
▶
How are projects priced?
Project Assessment has a fixed price. Technical Sprint is priced individually depending on the project scope and expected duration.

If this sounds like your situation

Bring your idea.

The first call is free and comes with no obligation.

We’ll use this to understand your situation, determine whether you need support at an early stage or more practical assistance, and whether it makes sense for us to work together.
