WATonomous — Ramy Wahib

// 01 — My Role

WATonomous is the University of Waterloo's student autonomous robots design team. I joined in January 2026 as a Robotics Engineer, working on software, firmware, and hardware for a full humanoid robot.

My work spans the full stack — from low-level CAN bus firmware on STM32 microcontrollers, to ROS2 motion control nodes and joint state representation systems running on Linux. Beyond software and firmware, I also contribute to mechanical assembly and electrical wiring of the robot.
