@calvinkiekhfel
Automation and software engineer at TESTA MOTARI building autonomous robot systems with AI vision and optimized UR robot paths.
What I'm looking for
At TESTA MOTARI Automotive GmbH, I build intelligent embedded and robotics systems for industrial automation. I developed a YOLOv8-based part-detection system that drives robot control, then built toward a full vision pipeline from data capture through live inference and tracking.
I also developed an autonomous AMR/AGV and UR10 system with AI vision, real-time robot control, and a modular control architecture. My projects include a 3D path-analysis and optimization tool for UR robot programs, which reconstructs tool paths and exposes path reviews to an AI agent.
