Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMarco Tranzatto is a robotics-focused control engineer and entrepreneur with 12 years of experience building and scaling autonomous systems teams and products from lab prototypes to fielded heavy machinery. As Co‑founder and current Team Lead at Gravis Robotics he leads application engineering, field operations, and functional safety for autonomy, having previously grown the company from 5 to 30+ staff as COO. He brings deep hands‑on expertise from ETH Zürich in quadruped and subterranean robotics, MAVs, HIL simulation, and embedded control stacks, and is a principal author of mission‑critical path‑following and autonomy modules used in real deployments. Trained with top honors in Mechatronics and Computer Engineering, Marco pairs academic rigor with startup execution, often translating research-grade algorithms into robust, safety-focused products. A Zurich‑based leader, he’s comfortable switching between firmware, perception, and operational strategy—a practical systems thinker who still enjoys tuning controllers on lake trials and robot field tests.
