Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCamilo Palacio is an EdTech robotics lead designer and product design engineer with over a decade of experience taking physical products from concept to global distribution. He founded Otto DIY (now HP Robots Otto), building an open-source STEAM robotics ecosystem—hardware, software, community and educational content—that secured EU grants and partnerships with HP and Prusa Research before a strategic acquisition. Skilled across industrial design, mechanical and electronic engineering, PCB work, injection molding and supply-chain management, he combines hands-on prototyping with manufacturing and go-to-market experience across Europe, China and the USA. Currently based in South Moravia, Czechia, he leads HP’s first educational robot project while consulting on EdTech and consumer electronics that blend robotics, IoT, AI and AR/VR for classrooms. A frequent tinkerer and embedded systems contributor (notably adding sensor-driven behaviors to the OttoNinja platform), he thrives at the intersection of creative product design and engineering rigor.
