Hi, I’m Efrain. I build robots and software.

Ideas you can
see in action.

Robotics, interfaces, and things I’m figuring out.
Pick something that catches your eye.

4 projects shown

From a first prototype to something useful.Sydney, Australia ↘

Machines with
purpose.

Small WISE accessory attached to an existing bin

From a robot’s first steps to a clearer interface,
I like making things people can actually use.

The playground

Give it a try.

Step through a simple decision loop.
You’re in charge of what happens next.

Finite state machine / interactive study01Observe02Decide03Act04Check

A small experiment in how machines make decisions.

Try it yourself

One decision.
Four states.

01 / Observe

Read the environment. The agent waits for a useful signal.

A servo, up close.

Behind the work

I like figuring out
how things work.

I’m Efrain, a mechatronics engineer based in Sydney. I founded WISE Systems and lead robotics education at EMU Robotics.

Some days that means designing a part or tuning a controller. Others, it’s writing an interface or helping someone get their first robot moving.
