Mechatronics / Robotics Engineer
I am Mesut, a robotics engineer focused on quadruped and humanoid robots. I work on the whole machine rather than one slice of it: control software, mechanical design, simulation and reinforcement learning.
Right now I am building Xentaur, a hybrid lower body quadruped and upper body humanoid robot.
Before that I spent three years at STMicroelectronics as a Senior Automation Engineer, developing software applications, hardware designs and IoT devices for the production floor, and leading automation projects end to end.

03 / Projects
Platforms, perception systems and hardware products. Filter by what you care about.
The main build at Xentaur. A platform that can switch between four legged stability and a bipedal humanoid stance, developed from CAD and actuator selection through to locomotion control and simulation. Ongoing work, more soon.
A platform that turns a pile of spare components into a buildable robot. You describe the parts, tools and materials already on your bench, and RoboScratch generates feasible robot concepts ranked by bench fit, the share of hardware you already own. Each build comes with detailed guidance: mechanical assembly, electrical verification, print ready files, URDF and simulation setup. Built for makers and engineers who would rather start today than wait three weeks for a parts order.
Applied reinforcement learning and navigation stacks to a Unitree G1 humanoid, deployed on the physical robot to carry out specific task sequences rather than staying in simulation.
A perception system combining CLIP and SAM for object grounding and segmentation on a robotic arm, with spaCy parsing natural language commands. Say "pick the screwdriver" or "take the controller from the table" and the arm resolves it to a real object in the scene.
Built on the open source DexHand design: 3D printed the full hand, assembled it with servo actuators, then wrote a computer vision layer that tracks a human hand through a camera and mirrors the gestures on the robot in real time. A base platform for future manipulation work.
A wearable that gives factory operators two way communication with machines and robots on the line. ESP32 with a display, LiPo power, vibration alerts and ESD safe straps, in a housing I designed and printed. Backed by a 16 slot charging cabinet and a Raspberry Pi station that assigns devices by NFC employee badge, with five background services handling messaging and allocation.

I am open to robotics collaborations, hardware projects and conversations with people building in this space. The fastest way to reach me is email.
