Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDusan Zivkovic is a robotics and systems leader with eight years of hands-on experience designing highly autonomous security drones and running Sunflower Labs' Serbia branch. Trained at ETH Zürich (MSc in Robotics, Systems and Control) and with a background in electrical engineering from the University of Belgrade, he blends rigorous control theory with practical embedded development. He has contributed to the widely used PX4 Autopilot project, improving sensor fusion, precision landing and RTL logic—work that directly informs safer, more reliable drone autonomy. As GM and former robotics engineer, he pairs technical depth in mission planning and sensor calibration with operational leadership, scaling R&D into deployed products. Colleagues describe him as a pragmatic engineer who moves quickly from low-level firmware fixes to system-level autonomy features.
