Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDiego Romeres is a Senior Applied Scientist based in Cambridge, MA with 11 years of experience applying machine learning and control to robotic manipulation and human-robot interaction. He has led and grown the Intelligent Robotics team at Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories and now develops novel dexterous loco-manipulation solutions in Amazon’s Industrial Robotics Group. His background spans rigorous academic research—including a PhD in Information Engineering—and hands-on work with robotic arms, inverse dynamics, and system identification across European and U.S. labs. Diego combines deep theoretical skills in model learning and control with practical deployment experience, often bridging simulation tools and real hardware. Less obvious is his cross-domain fluency: early power-network model reduction and brain-connectivity research inform his systems-level approach to robust robotic behavior.
