I am currently working as Head of Robotic Integration at Magazino GmbH, where I lead a team of 20+ engineers in the design and development of autonomous robots. My responsibilities include overseeing robot architecture, behavior development, and product quality assurance.
With over 10 years of experience in the field, I am proficient in programming with Python, C++, and Prolog using ROS. I hold a degree in Physics from Sapienza University of Rome and the University of Pisa, and a PhD in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence from Sapienza University of Rome. During my PhD, I spent a year as a visiting scholar at Carnegie Mellon University.
My academic background includes 20+ publications and 4 patents, and I have participated in various European projects. Additionally, I have served as senior program committee, program committee, and reviewer for various international conferences and European projects.
I have always been fascinated by the question of how a machine, being it a single robot or a multi robot system, can be endowed with an intelligent behavior that allows it to learn and reason about how to act in a complex world. Such a question holds many implicit interrogations that, I believe, humankind needs to, at least, attempt giving an answer: What do we mean with the adjective intelligent? What gives to a specific entity such an attribute? Will we ever be able to instill such a trait in a machine? I would like to spend my life contributing to solve such interrogations.
