Ken Yamashita

Senior Embedded Software Engineer

Our main clients are cows and they don't read manuals. We anticipate any crazy situations. We need lots of imagination and that makes it really fun. What I do for the robot that is directly related to life quality of cows. By making sure that the robot is operational constantly the cows will get a clean barn and a clean floor.
