A Microsoft robotics researcher says the year in Zurich has come to an end, marking a personal transition after helping shape the company’s robotics strategy and robot-learning effort.
They describe growing the Zurich robot-learning team from just two people into a broader group, and thank colleagues, students, collaborators, and manager Marc Pollefeys. The post emphasizes that building a research org is not just about papers, but also mentoring, culture, and relationships — with skiing, bowling, dinners, and team memories featured alongside the farewell.
