Markus Hehn is Co-Founder and CTO of Verity, where he has spent over a decade building embodied AI systems that bring autonomous perception to physical spaces. Verity's fully autonomous indoor drones have flown millions of flights across more than 200 facilities worldwide, operating without human supervision to capture ground truth that physical environments have long left undigitized. Markus earned his PhD at ETH Zurich, developing motion planning and learning algorithms for autonomous robots. His work spans the full stack of physical AI—from motion control and indoor positioning to the insight pipelines that turn drone data into decisions.
