Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolWalter Lucetti is a Senior Software Engineer with 12 years of experience specializing in robotics, computer vision, and embedded systems, currently advancing stereo vision and ROS/ROS2 integrations at Stereolabs. He combines low-level STM32 firmware, sensor acquisition and filtering with high-level perception work—AI/ML, point clouds and spatial mapping—having contributed core features to widely used open-source ZED ROS wrappers. A founder-level perspective from Officine Robotiche and his freelance work informs a pragmatic approach to R&D, simulation (Gazebo), and customer-facing technical support. He is also the creator of the MyzharBot crawler robot, reflecting hands-on hardware/software integration beyond typical research code. Based in Massa, Tuscany, Walter brings deep systems engineering discipline and a knack for optimizing sensor pipelines and synchronization that improves real-world robotic performance.
