Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFabrizio Bottarel is a Senior Robotics Engineer with eight years of experience building autonomous systems, humanoid manipulation algorithms, and end-to-end kinematics and control stacks for mobile robots. He has transitioned research-grade expertise in vision-based, model-free grasp planning from a PhD and postdoc at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia into production robotics, leading design and ROS2-based implementation for a four-wheel swerve intralogistics robot and supervising junior engineers. Skilled in sensor fusion, custom ROS2 drivers, Nav2 integration and field testing, he combines hands-on firmware and perception work with system-level navigation and UX considerations. Based in Trieste, he is equally at home prototyping novel manipulation benchmarks and shipping reliable industrial software, and his GitHub motto—"A rolling robot gathers no rust" reflects a pragmatic, iterative engineering philosophy.
