Mike Simard's Linkedin Analytics

Having earned a Bachelor's degree in Robotic Engineering from the University of Sherbrooke, I am currently pursuing an MBA at Laval University to enhance my business acumen. During my academic career, I had the opportunity to complete multiple internships at esteemed organizations such as MDA Space and the Canadian Space Agency, where I specialized in space robotics. These experiences provided me with extensive training in the sizing, design, modeling, assembly, and testing of robotic systems, ensuring their resilience in extreme environments such as outer space. In addition to my academic and professional experiences, I held the position of team leader for the ZEUS project—a semi-autonomous rover endeavor—and served as president of Robotique UdeS. These leadership roles equipped me with invaluable insights into the challenges of robotic integration and iterative management. Currently, I am the CEO of ARTIK Technologies, a company dedicated to developing a new generation of Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) that revolutionize the robotics industry.
