Raffaello Bonghi

I’m really into robotics and AI. In my free time, I enjoy working on robotics projects. I have a Ph.D. in Robotics and work as an automation engineer.

I designed robots from my childhood until university. My first robot was called Zippy, and step by step, I designed mini-sumo robots, rovers, and many others. Watch my list below.
