Senior🎓
Top SchoolDaiki Maekawa is a lead robotics software engineer with 17 years of experience designing and shipping autonomous systems across startups and industry, currently driving robotics software at Dyson in Singapore. He builds end-to-end robot stacks—navigation, sensor fusion, behavior orchestration, simulation, and GUIs—often integrating novel sensors like 3D LiDAR, ToF cameras and probabilistic lidar-sonar fusion. Daiki has repeatedly bridged business and engineering, leading product launches and establishing development processes as a certified ScrumMaster. Early-stage experience at Rapyuta and founding the ROS Japan Users Group underline his penchant for community building and architecting systems from scratch. Notable achievements include leading competition-grade field robots that completed long-distance outdoor runs and creating Gazebo and RViz tooling to make complex robot behavior testable. Outside work he frames himself as living “as wildlife on the Robotics ecosystem,” reflecting a hands-on, exploratory approach to solving real-world robotic problems.
