My name is
Arthur Hauswald
Engineer | Robotics/Embedded Systems/COMPSCI
I help people build autonomous systems from prototyping to real-world deployment.
Currently available for freelance work. Always open to new opportunities.
What I do
Services
Need a proof of concept quickly ?
I turn an idea into a working prototype in days, so you can validate before committing.
Building or extending a robotics stack ?
I can design, ship or assess the software that makes your system move and decide.
Need your robot to see ?
Reliable perception, from calibration to real-time detection.
Need low-level software for your hardware ?
I can write low-level software that talks to your hardware and meets timing.
Stuck on a hard robotics bug ?
I can jump in and track it down to help you moove forward with your project.

The process
How we'd work together
- 1
Scope
We start with a call to pin down goals, constraints and success criteria, so we both know exactly what "done" looks like.
- 2
Prototype
I build a focused first version fast, so you can see it work and course-correct early, before the big investment.
- 3
Deliver
I refine, document and hand off production-ready code, and stay available to get it running in your environment.
Selected work
Some clients I worked for
- Autonomous boat navigationR&D of autonomous boat navigation and control on simulation and real hardware at BlueNav.
- Comprehensive software and system architecture reviewAssessement of risks and alternatives regarding ROS2, compute, sensors and modularity of an UGV.
- Humanoid robot development on ROS2 for RoboCup@HomeIntegration of the navigation stack of the holonomic base. Development of the sensing and perception stack on ROS2 and micro-ROS.
- Firmware porting for a wearable devicePorting of a FreeRTOS firmware to a new platform based on ZephyrRTOS.
The value
Why work with me
Pragmatic problem solving
I optimise for what ships and works, not for over-engineered solutions. Taking what both state of the art and practical solutions have to offer.
Clear communication
I make sure to keep you updated on the progress of the project and to answer any questions you may have. You won't have to guess where your project stands or the meaning of the documentation I deliver.
Strong robotics expertise
Experience developing robotics software from research projects to industrial applications. Comfortable working with ROS2, C++, Python, embedded systems and computer vision.

FAQ
How do we get started?
Send me a short description of your project and its goals. We schedule a free call to scope the work, then I send a proposal with timeline and pricing.
How do you charge?
I prefer working on a milestone-based contract but can also work on a daily rate or a fixed price per milestone. We agree on this before any work begins.
Do you work remotely?
Yes. I work remotely by default and can travel on-site for hardware bring-up or key milestones when needed.
What size of project do you take on?
From a few days of focused prototyping to multi-month builds. If it is not a fit I will tell you and, where I can, point you in the right direction.
