Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTed Steiner is a Principal Member of the Technical Staff at Draper Laboratory with 12 years of experience building vision and inertial navigation and mapping systems for autonomous vehicles and astronaut tracking. He holds a Ph.D. in Aeronautics and Astronautics from MIT where his research on navigational map compression and vision-aided planetary landing informed practical autonomy solutions. At Draper he leads software development for high-speed, GPS-denied quadrotor flight (DARPA FLA) and co-leads a NASA program developing passive wearable kinematic systems for astronaut motion capture. His work bridges cutting-edge perception algorithms and deployed systems, from unmapped indoor flight to operational astronaut monitoring on complex 3D platforms. Based in Cambridge, he combines deep academic rigor with hands-on program leadership, often translating niche research—like map compression techniques—into robust fielded autonomy.
