Bakel B.Private profile: Upwork shows its earnings only to signed-in members, so we check it every few weeks, not daily. MRR here is a rough estimate (Upwork's six-month earnings ÷ months active). Last read Sep 25, 2026.

When you need the best results for a robotics job, you hire me! Period. I’m that robotics dude on full overdrive. No girlfriend, no social life, just me, my robots, and a relentless loop of fixing "why isn't it working?!" Clients come to me for: ✅ Autonomous navigation systems for AUVs/USVs/UAVs/UGVs ✅ Robotics simulation, control & hardware integration ✅ Digital signal processing projects ✅ Computer vision & ML pipelines ✅ Embedded systems design and projects ✅ Deep-learning perception pipelines ✅ End-to-end robotic system development, from circuit to simulation to deployment ✅ Training and Mentorship for teams and documentation I’ve built ✅ Autonomous USVs that won international competitions like the Aegan RoRo Race ✅ ROVs that perform complex underwater missions on their own. ✅ A tonne of Raspberry Pi + Arduino projects that do everything from monitoring plants to predicting glucose level from PPG in fingers ✅ Full-stack telepresence robots with video, audio, and real-time control over networks (ROS version and Custom code version based on the different clients needs) ✅ Real-time fault detection systems using deep learning for 3-phase power lines in Simulink ✅ Simulation-driven AUV platforms using Gazebo, PX4, and custom ROS 2 packages ✅ PID-tuned, motion-controlled embedded systems with custom PCBs and KiCad design ✅ Cross-platform interfaces with Flask, React, and cloud-based IIoT dashboards I teach foundational robotics, ROS2 and robotics control theory in live workshops and mentorships Tech stack I breathe: ROBOTICS ✅ Simulation & Visualization (Gazebo, Isaac Sim, Webots, RViz) ✅ Autonomous Navigation (Nav2, SLAM Toolbox, Cartographer) ✅ Path Planning & Control (DWA, A*, PID, MPC, Inverse Kinematics) ✅ Robotic Middleware (ROS, ROS 2, micro-ROS, TF, URDF, ros_control) ✅ Marine & Underwater Robotics (BlueROV, ArduSub, PX4, MAVLink) ✅ Robotic System Integration (Hardware-in-the-loop, SITL, ArduPilot, PX4-Autopilot) EMBEDDED SYSTEMS ✅ Microcontrollers (STM32, ESP32, Arduino, AVR) ✅ Single-Board Computers (Raspberry Pi, Jetson Nano, BeagleBone) ✅ Real-Time Control (FreeRTOS, timers, interrupts, PWM, PID) ✅ Communication Protocols (UART, I2C, SPI, CAN, RS485, MQTT, Bluetooth, WiFi) ✅ Custom Hardware Design (PCB with KiCad, 3D printing) SOFTWARE ENGINEERING ✅ Programming (C++, Python, Bash, C, MATLAB, JavaScript/Node.js) ✅ Docker, GitHub Actions, CI/CD pipelines ✅ Web Interfaces (React, Flask, WebSocket, REST APIs) ✅ Databases & Cloud Sync (Firebase, Blynk, PostgreSQL) ✅ Data Logging & Visualization (Matplotlib, Seaborn, Dash) COMPUTER VISION & AI ✅ Perception Systems (OpenCV, PyTorch, TensorFlow, Keras) ✅ Object Detection (YOLO, Haar Cascades, Color Tracking, Contour Detection) ✅ Scene Understanding (Semantic Segmentation, Grad-CAM) ✅ Visual SLAM, Optical Flow, and Stereo Depth Estimation ✅ Underwater Inspection (Real-time damage detection on pipes, cables, and seabed) ✅ Dataset Collection, Annotation, and Model Training Pipelines IIOT, CONTROL, AND SYSTEMS INTEGRATION ✅ MQTT, Modbus, Serial-over-USB, Real-Time Telemetry ✅ Sensor Fusion (IMU, GPS, Depth, Barometer, Lidar, Sonar) ✅ Edge AI for Smart Monitoring & Alert Systems ✅ Control Loops with Feedback via ROS and Simulink ✅ Remote Monitoring Dashboards and Telepresence via Flask + WebRTC I won’t stop until: ✅ The bug is fixed (even if it’s 3AM and I’m arguing with a sensor) ✅ The simulation finally matches real-world data, ✅ The PID is tuned so well it sings lullabies to the actuators, ✅ The robot navigates like it has Google Maps in its bloodstream, ✅ and the ROS nodes aren’t throwing errors like it’s a contest. If it moves, thinks, swims, blinks, or explodes, I’ve probably built it, fixed it, or cursed at it.
