OSRF is pleased to welcome Morgan Quigley! Morgan recently defended his PhD thesis, “Hardware and Software Systems for Personal Robots,” in the Stanford Computer Science Department. At OSRF, his work will span software, firmware, and embedded design, by creating infrastructure to allow seamless communication and coordination between ROS and embedded systems.

As the “godfather of ROS,” Morgan gave the opening keynote at ROSCon2012. He’s had a hand in the design and development of many robots, including this one from Sandia.
