Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAiko Dinale is a perception engineer with nine years of hands-on experience bridging academic robotics research and industrial perception for automotive and humanoid platforms. With a PhD focused on autonomous urban freight vehicles, she developed a lidar-based motion planner for pallet docking and later translated research into industry-ready event-driven vision and control algorithms during postdoctoral roles at IIT. She has shipped perception software in C++ and Python for autonomous driving at Luxoft and now contributes to Stellantis, combining rigorous research methods with Agile delivery practices. Comfortable with hardware-in-the-loop validation and tools from Gazebo to Prophesee event cameras, she uniquely blends low-level control, sensor-driven perception, and project coordination. Beyond coding, Aiko has taught research methodology and led dissemination and partner coordination on a European project, indicating strong communication and tech-transfer skills. She is now seeking roles where she can pair deep technical craft with product and project leadership in robotics.
