Francesco Mondada (born 17 March 1967) is a Swiss professor[1] in artificial intelligence and robotics. He got a Master's degree in Microengineering at the EPFL in 1991 and a PhD degree in 1997. He is one of the creators of the Khepera and directed the design of the S-bot, the e-puck, the marXbot and the Thymio mobile robots. Together, these robots are mentioned in more than 9000 research articles.[2] In particular the Khepera robot[3] is a milestone in the field of bio-inspired and evolutionary robotics.

He was one of the founders and director of K-team SA from its creation 1995 to 2000,[4] and one of the founders of Calerga Sarl in 2001[5] and Mobsya in 2010.[6]

His recent work concerns collective robotics and education.
