你好!, I'm Brik H. Meza
I am an incoming MSc CS student at McGill University. I co-founded Outliers, a Software and AI Consultancy for SMBs, and NONHUMAN, Peru's first Embodied AI lab.
Previously, I interned at BSH Home Appliances and worked as an AI Research Engineer at EsSalud, where I led health-AI projects. I received my Bachelor's degree in Mechatronics Engineering from the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru (PUCP) in 2025; during my studies I completed a semester exchange at the University of Texas at Austin.
I am interested in the intersection of artificial intelligence and autonomous physical systems. I am excited about startups and the future of humanity and robots in space.
Portfolio
My nindo to become a full stack robotics engineer.
Automatic Package Sorting System
Modular mechatronic system for automated package classification using barcode detection and independent sorting modules. Designed to reduce space requirements while maintaining scalability.
Autonomous Dump Pocket Cleaning Using Imitation Learning
Paper submitted to the World Mining Congress 2026. Experimental testbed and benchmark for evaluating imitation learning architectures on autonomous dump pocket cleaning. Benchmarks four IL architectures (ACT, Diffusion Policy, π0.5 model, and SmolVLA) using a SO-ARM100 platform with granular bentonite material.
MANTRA
The NONHUMAN team built an ALOHA-style bimanual manipulator using Piper arms, achieving a system 4x cheaper than Stanford's original ALOHA. I led the mechanical design and developed the teleoperation and data-collection stack. The team collected over 2,000 pick-and-place episodes (dataset available on HuggingFace) to fine-tune and test the π0.5 model.
Nutribot: AI Chatbot for Preventive Nutrition Education
Multimodal AI chatbot deployed on WhatsApp for preventive nutritional education at EsSalud Peru. Impacted 200+ users, achieving a SUS score of 78.9/100 and 85% improvement in diet adherence.
BISO-ARM100: Automated Medication Sorting via Imitation Learning
A pilot study conducted at IETSI-EsSalud evaluating a low-cost bimanual robotic system (12 DOF) based on the open-source SO-ARM100 project. The system was trained via Imitation Learning and tested on a sample of 10 medication box types, achieving an 80% global success rate in a controlled environment.
MediVoz: Smart Transcription for Medical Consultations
AI voice agents that convert real-time medical consultations to structured clinical records. Engineered the full-stack demo pilot; reduced clinical note-taking time by 70%.
BIMAN
Spearheaded the mechatronic design and prototyping of a low-cost mobile home-assistant robot (approximately $1.5K). Currently, the team is working on autonomous navigation and teleoperation of the arms using VR systems. In current development.
Entrepreneurship
I co-founded two ventures: A Software and AI Consultancy for SMBs, and Peru's first Embodied AI lab.
