Francesco Scatigno

A mechatronic engineer specializing in the integration of advanced autonomous systems for robotic exploration of complex and inaccessible environments. My approach combines artificial intelligence techniques, multi-sensor signal processing, and adaptive control to develop aerial robotic platforms capable of operating in dynamic and unstructured scenarios. Currently, I completed my Master Thesis at EPFL, focused on the development of an autonomous drone system for environmental exploration and reconnaissance.
