Summary
Antonino Bongiovanni is a robotics engineer and research fellow with eight years of experience designing ROS-based architectures and control systems for space and underwater robotics. At Thales Alenia Space he leads a small research team developing closed-loop manipulation for rendezvous and capture, integrating MoveIt2, BehaviorTree.CPP, vision (OpenCV, PyTorch) and ROS2 in Python and C++. Previously he built decentralized multi-AUV software and acoustic-communication simulations at the University of Genoa, implementing distributed control and failure-aware coordination in C++/ROS. He combines hands-on control and autonomy development with systems-level design, from dynamics simulation to perception and behavior orchestration. Based in Turin, he is driven by a desire to translate AI and robotics research into real-world transformative systems. A detail often missed: he pairs academic rigor with practical mission-focused engineering, routinely moving prototypes toward deployable architectures.
