Chris Donnell
Committee Member
Chris first joined the r/Robotics team during the pandemic, in the hopes of connecting with and helping others interested in robotics. Since then he’s finished grad school and now works in simulator development.
The annual RRS event has been an amazing way to facilitate diverse discussion about the field – connecting self taught hobbyists with tenured academics, students with industry leaders, and even artists with engineers.
