JEAN-PHILIPPE JOBIN
CO-FOUNDER AND CTO
Jean-Philippe Jobin also co-founded Robotiq in
2008. With his strong background in engineeringand arts, he combined his passions by creating
new technologies.
Jean-Philippe brings an ability to connect to bothengineers and clients, helping the former keep it
simple so that the latter can easily use Robotiq’s
technology. His circus days may be behind him, buthis natural agility, timing, teamwork, and creativity
have stayed with him.
As a member of the ISO committee on robot safety,
he contributes to defining the future of safety
standards for collaborative robots.
