Summary
Dario Mantegazza is a founder-led CEO and research-driven technologist with eight years of experience at the intersection of robotics, AI and product development. He founded Flycatcher and leads its research agenda, drawing on a PhD in Artificial Intelligence and a postdoctoral stint at IDSIA where he worked on multimodal anomaly detection and learned semantic segmentation for robotic applications. His background spans hands-on systems engineering—Prototyping drone control networks, 3D vision integrations and embedded access systems—to publishing at venues like ICRA, reflecting both academic rigor and product focus. Based in Lugano, Switzerland, he combines deep technical expertise in perception and control with startup execution skills, unusually blending lab-grade research with commercial prototyping.
