Sean O’Connor
I’m an engineer with a background in robotics research. My focus now is building tools that solve problems outside the lab. At Bucknell, I built tools to study how people interact with robots. I got my start in IT at Riverhead Raceway, writing software for race day. Today I run Hadlock Technologies and study computer engineering at Boston University.
Work
- Racetix Ticketing for race tracks, from online checkout to a QR scan at the gate.
- beenvoice Time tracking and invoicing for independent work.
- Puter A system monitor for macOS.
- Manyangles Shared photo albums for events.
Research
At Bucknell, I built HRIStudio so researchers could control a robot behind the scenes and record what happened. That work became my honors thesis and two IEEE RO-MAN papers. Read the papers.
Experience
At Bucknell, I taught and tutored and led the electrical and mechanical work on our Chem-E-Car team. More about my experience. Résumé & CV.
Outside work
I follow Formula One, keep a coffee map for Lewisburg and Boston, and post photos from trips. On one of my sites, it’s still October 2019.
