Microsoft robotics lead says his year in Zurich is ending
A Microsoft employee says he is leaving after a year in Zurich, looking back on his work helping shape the company’s robotics strategy and grow its robot-learning team.
He says that when he joined, he and Isar Meijer were the entire robot-learning team in Zurich, and that the group has since grown into a much larger team. The post reads like a farewell note to the robotics effort rather than a product announcement.
