Andrew Hundt is a Computing Innovation Postdoctoral Fellow and robotics-focused software engineer with 13 years of hands-on experience building integrated learning and traditional algorithms for real-world agents. He combines deep-learning expertise (PyTorch, TensorFlow, Keras) and robotics/vision systems with low-level engineering in C/C++, CAD and build systems to enable smoother robot calibration, perception, and control. His work spans academia and industry—from a PhD at Johns Hopkins and postdocs at CMU and Georgia Tech to a confidential robotics “moonshot” at X—and includes sustained open-source contributions to widely used projects like Keras, Bullet Physics, and hand-eye calibration tools. Known for improving runtime and robustness (e.g., TensorFlow grasping pipelines and reliable hand-eye calibration for UR5/Kuka systems), he also brings strong DevOps, documentation, and mentoring skills that bridge research prototypes to production-grade systems.

Contributions summary:Andrew contributed to the `keras-contrib` repository by implementing support for the MSCOCO dataset and Pascal VOC 2012 dataset. They also made improvements to various dataset-related files. Furthermore, the user addressed runtime errors and ensured PEP8 compliance within the codebase, demonstrating a focus on code quality and dataset integration. The contributions suggest a focus on data handling and integration within the context of a deep learning library.
Easy to use and accurate hand eye calibration which has been working reliably for years (2016-present) with kinect, kinectv2, rgbd cameras, optical trackers, and several robots including the ur5 and kuka iiwa.

Contributions summary:Andrew primarily worked on the hand-eye calibration code, adding debugging outputs and preparing for saving transforms to a file. They integrated code from a master branch, fixing quaternion printouts and addressing uninitialized variable issues. Their contributions include implementing features related to transformation handling and calibration results, likely focusing on improving the accuracy and usability of the hand-eye calibration process. The user demonstrated skills in C++ and interaction with libraries like Eigen and camodocal.
