Bill — Robotics Engineer

I've used Python to create programs for professional, personal, and educational projects. These projects included a 3-axis drawing robot that used OpenCV and a Raspberry Pi to draw faces. I have also written Python for a robot currently in production where a Python program allows a Fanuc robot to communicate and control a Photoneo 3D camera.

I was an Application Engineer at KUKA Robotics for 3 years. I worked very closely with VisionTech (based on Cognex's VisionPro), ConveyorTech (conveyor tracking), KRC4 controllers, and the KR Agilus robots.

I've worked with VisionPro while at KUKA Robotics, but continued my experience while working for Indicon Corporation. I've attended classes for VisionPeo, In-Sight, ViDi Deep Learning, and In-Sight ViDi. I helped many customers by performing feasibility testing.

I worked for Kawasaki Robotics as a Field Service Engineer for 2 years. I programmed robots using AS language for many different applications, including palletizing, sealer (paint department), material handling, etc. I also worked closely with a 3D vision company to integrate their sensors with our robots in major automative plants across the country. Much of my job was troubleshooting issues with electrical, mechanical, and software.
