Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolGabriel Hottiger is a robotics software leader with a decade of experience designing navigation, perception and CI-driven development workflows for legged robots. Currently Head of Mobility & Sensing at ANYbotics, he progressed internally from hands-on robotics engineer to principal QA and now leads mobility and sensing strategy for production-grade platforms. His background blends academic research at ETH Zürich—where he built control algorithms and open-source libraries—with industrial practice extending planners (waypoint and elastic-band variants) and integrating ROS, C++, Python and Qt into robust pipelines. He’s known for improving developer efficiency through tooling and CI automation as much as for advancing path planning and dynamic-obstacle handling. Based in Lucerne, Switzerland, he brings both systems-level leadership and a practitioner’s inclination to ship tested, field-ready autonomy.
