About Me

Nimrod Curtis

I am a researcher on the robotics team at Bosch Corporate Research, focusing on applied research for robotic assembly. I hold an M.Sc. in Robotics from Tel Aviv University's lab, where I gained hands-on experience in robotics, deep learning, imitation learning and computer vision. My passion lies at the intersection of AI and robotics—specifically, the seamless integration of smart robots into real-world applications for human benefit. I am a highly motivated and committed team player who thrives on helping my colleagues improve and succeed together.
