Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFrancesco Del Duchetto is a robotics and autonomous systems researcher and lecturer with 11 years' experience building learning-driven robot behaviours for real-world settings. He combines a PhD in Computer Science with hands-on engineering—from developing mobile museum guides and adaptive behaviours to deploying autonomous navigation and fleet systems in agriculture and service robotics. His work spans reinforcement learning, learning from demonstrations and deep learning, with practical deployments for accessibility in museums and participation in RoboCup teams that sharpen rapid prototyping under competitive constraints. Known for bridging academic rigour and system integration, he repeatedly delivers end-to-end solutions that move robots from lab research into fielded applications.
