Summary
Giovanni Cioffi is a robotics and computer vision researcher with eight years of experience specializing in camera localization and SLAM for aerial robots, assistive vision systems, and first-person 3D mapping. As a PhD student at the Robotics and Perception Group (University of Zurich / ETH Zurich) he has published in top venues (T-RO, RSS, ECCV, RA-L, ICRA, IROS) and earned multiple best paper awards for work on drone inspection, hybrid dynamics VIO, and fault-tolerant quadrotor flight. He blends academic rigor with applied deployments—ranging from Cybathlon vision assistance for blind users to transformer-based 3D reconstruction work during an internship at Meta. Comfortable with multisensor fusion (cameras, IMUs, GPS) and learning-augmented perception, he focuses on making robust, real-time systems that work in challenging real-world conditions. Based in Zurich, he holds advanced training from ETH Zürich and brings a practical engineering background from industry internships in robotics and manufacturing.
