Angjelo Libofsha — Robotics & Automation Engineer · 3rd worldwide @ Bosch Future Mobility 2026.

About

Engineer, end‑to‑end

I'm a Robotics & Automation Engineer completing my MSc at Università Politecnica delle Marche, specialized in robotics and mechatronics. I work across the full stack of autonomous systems — embedded firmware and PCBs, computer vision, sensor fusion (EKF) and ROS 2 architecture.

Over three years on the Bosch Future Mobility Challenge I led the team's ROS 2 architecture as its technical reference, taking the system from low-level control to high-level localization — work that resulted in two peer-reviewed publications and a 3rd-place finish worldwide.

I care about making complex systems actually work end to end, not just writing code — owning the architecture, integrating the hardware, and shipping something that runs.
