ODENSE, DENMARK – SEPTEMBER 12TH 2017 PTR Robots is happy to announce the recruitment of two international engineers, Subhash Sathyakeerthy and Johannes Jacobus Coetsee. Subhash and Johannes join the product development team that focuses on the development of the patient lifting robot.
Subhash comes with in-depth expertise in multiple programming languages, tools and embedded systems and experience from his previous work and research within mobile robotics. He has a Bachelor of Engineering, Electronics and Communication from the Visveswaraiah Technological University and a Master of Science by Research in Computer Science and Engineering from the International Institute of Information Technology – Hyderabad in India. He has worked as a Robotics Engineer in Robots Alive, a robotics startup based in Bengaluru, India. Later on, he moved to Sweden from where he worked as PhD researcher and later Research officer in Cognitive Robotic System Lab, AASS, Örebro University, for RobotEra EU project.
One of my life motto is “Deliver tomorrow’s technology today”. I have been working in the mobile robotics domain for 10+ years where my main focus has been to bring the mobile robots into our daily life, says Subhash and continues; Mobile robots have the amazing capability to improve the quality of life of people and enable the people, who need assistance, to live independent and confident life. I believe that I can add value to the company with my wide range of experience with mobile robots and develop a patient lifting robot that both patients and nurses will enjoy using.
Johannes is a Mechanical Engineer who joins Multi Tower Company coming all the way from South Africa. He graduated from the University of Johannesburg, where he began specializing in the world of Mechatronics during the latter half of his studies. He has been specializing in Mechatronic and Robotic design for the largest part of his career and has worked with projects both large and small – from large, purely mechanical designs to high precision opto-mechatronics.
I have always had a fascination with robotics, and I’ve also been very eager to work in a country where robotics development is at the cutting edge. Working at Multi-Tower and being involved with an innovative product right from the start is going to be quite an adventure, says Johannes and continues; I love challenging designs that force new and creative thinking, and this new project has a wholly new set of challenges – which means it will be an exciting, learning process for me. I am looking forward to improving my skills, and learning completely new ones in the process, and I hope to impart some of my experience into this design and others.
I’m more than happy that Subhash and Johannes join our R&D team, because they have the profound technical background to support the team in making the right decisions in order to achieve our ambitious goals, both in time and within budget. Subhash comes with significant robotics experience from many development projects within healthcare and aids for disabled people, also from start-ups. Johannes is strong in designing robots and he is the type of guy who knows how to put things together. With Subhash and Johannes in the team I really feel that we lift off, says Arnd Baurichter, CEO & CTO at Multi Tower Company.
We welcome Subhash and Johannes to Multi Tower Company.
