My name is Arthur Bricq, I am a robotic master student at EPFL passionated by new technologies. This is my personal website where you will discover my passions, my skills and a few projects.
Discover some of my projects at this Project Explorer Page.
You can find my resume in the Contact Page.
My formation includes a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering at EPFL and a M.S. of Science in Robotics also at EPFL, during which I was part of the Excellency Scholarship program. I also studied abroad 1 year at UBC (Vancouver) and 1 year in Sao Paulo (Brasil). I am fluent in French, English and Portugues ; and I try to be fluent in Italian !
I am currently looking for an internship (4 to 6 months), starting on August / September.
This website - by the way - was made fully by myself, in React using Gatsby (to be deployed statically...). Though I am no expert in design, I hope you appreciate the experience and feel free to give me hints on how to make it better.
Being a Robotic Engineer require a set of many different skills. It is mostly for this reason I decided to go for robotics: keep an general knowledge, be a system expert.
I have gained experienced in mostly 3 fields: Programming, Electronics & Mechanics. Programmation was always something I enjoyed. Mechanical Engineering is something I learned during my bachelor. As for Electronics, I learned a lot during my master. Here is an overview of my skills.
Python
Machine Learning / Data Science / Deep Learning / Robotics / Computer Vision
Swift
iOS Mobile or Desktop applications (Apple Ecosystem)
Java
Android Mobile Applications, Desktop Applications, Scientific Computing
Matlab
Scientific Computing, Data Science
JavaScript
React (like this website) & React Native
C / C++
Programming microcontrollers
PCB Design
Design of PCBs (using Kicad) with manufacturing
Motor Control
Using microcontrollers
Linux
Linux Proficiency and long personal interest in the open source community.
ROS2
Robot OS (ubuntu) experience
Embebbed electronics
I was always a fan of Raspberry Pis, and I worked a lot with a Jetson Nano
Mechanical Design
I have experience with Catia and with Simulink.
So since this is about me, let's reveal my biggest passion. Well, I am quite into outdoor sports ! I love to be outside, even if it is just for a walk in the forest, or for what I call 'microadventures' (be out for the weekends) up to weeks-long hikes during my vacations. For the winter times, I enjoy alpine skying, backcountry skying or snowshoeing tours. And for when the sun is back, I try to spend as many weekends as possible sleeping under my tent, walking during the days and then enjoying landscapes like this one.
Being quite concerned about the climate problems, I try to care about my environmental footprint. I believe that science has a big role to play in the incoming years to 'save' our planet. In my hopes, there is at the jonction of Low-Techs and High-Techs a set of local solutions that could be the keys to many troubles.
