Dario Spoljaric Portrait

Electrical Engineer, Roboticist & AI Engineer

Ever since I was a kid I am fascinated by technology. I always wanted to know how things work so I could build it myself. This passion drived me to persue a career in engineering.

My primary areas of interests include electrical engineering, robotics and AI. I'm driven by the design process and the joy of turning ideas into reality.

My projects in machine vision and robot learning have not only fueled my enthusiasm in new technologies but also taught me patience and to follow pragmatic approaches. Going through several design iterations to optimize a product and see how it is improving is the most rewarding thing to me. Although I am finished with my studies, I am eager to learn and build more than ever before!
