Ilias Amri

Hello, I am Ilias Amri a world builder and a solution finder a machine learning research and development engineer currently working on my own startup called wodex.tech, exploiting AI and LLM to put order in messy data in this messy world. It’s goal is to map and georeference scans (City, wilderness), index and make it searchable. I am also creating a Robotics lab called Tricity labs, they aim at developing advanced robotics in a FOSS manner as budget as possible. The main current projects are:

• Offroad autonomous rover with GPS-RTK, to collect data around forests and index it.
  • Reproducible and budget-friendly design
  • Safe navigation in offroad and agricultural terrains
• Autonomous research drone
  • High-detailed mapping
  • 3D reconstruction of forests or industrial elements (power towers)
  • GPS-denied localisation using camera

I previously worked at System plus Consulting in France. My mission was to develop tools that automate tasks, enhancing efficiency and productivity. I have successfully Engineered, designed and deployed multiple ML tools currently in use by over 15 people. I also had the chance to briefly work at Inria, where I worked on autonomous vehicles (UGV).

I am passionate about innovative projects, specially in AI and Robotics. If you would like to learn more or discuss potential collaborations, please feel free to reach out.

I like working with my hands on DIY projects, and learning how to use new tools and machines you can find examples on the blog.

I have a few projects :

• Turned a bike into a cargobike (2 versions ! )
• Custom made split ergo mechanical keyboard
• Bellyboard using a CNC
• A fanny pack etc

Current side projects

Current robotics work is documented at Tricity Labs — an open-source lab building budget-friendly field robots (autonomous rover + research drone) for outdoor data collection and 3D reconstruction. Multiple projects are currently in progress:

• A Husky-like rover (similar to Clearpath Robotics models) for autonomous SLAM and data gathering experiments.
• Simulator experiments to develop a welding robot (similar to Hirebotics models).
• An easily searchable data warehouse for LiDAR and video data.
