Mario Bozza - Robotics Engineer

Who I Am

I am a Robotics Engineer with a passion for building new cool stuff. I had the chance to gain valuable experience at top organizations like NASA JPL and Tesla, working on exciting projects from space rovers to electric cars. I like oscillating between designing mechanical parts and writing the software to make them work.

I really enjoy tackling complex problems and bringing ideas to life, whether it's a flying drone, a walking robot, or a self- driving vehicle. My goal is to create innovative solutions that push the boundaries of what's possible in robotics.
