Luis Batista

Hi! I’m Luis, a Research Engineer at the DREAM Lab (Georgia Tech-Europe in Metz, France), where I develop, integrate, and evaluate robotic systems across a range of platforms and applications (see examples). I recently completed a PhD in Robotics jointly at Georgia Tech and Université de Lorraine, with a focus on field robotics, reinforcement learning, and computer vision.

Before that, I spent several years in industrial R&D across Brazil and Japan, working on radar, sensors, and embedded systems for telecom and industrial applications.

My profile sits at the intersection of research and engineering. I enjoy building autonomous systems that combine perception, learning, and control. What excites me is taking cutting-edge research out of papers and simulators and making it run reliably on real robots.

Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, traveling, and spending time outdoors. Bonus points for discovering new places, exploring medieval castle ruins or long hikes in the mountains.
