Devin Billings is Associate Director of Electrical Research and Development at Boston Dynamics. He joined the company in 2009 to help develop a new electrical architecture for Boston Dynamics’ first humanoid robot, PETMAN. Since then, he has led or been a key contributor to electrical system designs for nearly all their robots, including his role as lead hardware engineer for the groundbreaking Atlas robot. Devin is excited by the breadth and depth of electrical design topics required in articulated robotics, including power-efficient computing, high speed networking, energy storage and management, power regulation and distribution, high power precision motor control, analog sensor integration, and machine vision systems, which together comprise the electrical system of a back-flipping humanoid robot. Before joining Boston Dynamics Devin worked developing high bandwidth multi-axis laser galvanometer, servo, and control systems. Devin holds a BSEE from Mercer University.
