I work on autonomous robots with a long-standing interest in how intelligent behavior can be designed, represented, and deployed in practice.
Current work
Today I am Head of Robotic Integration at Magazino, where I work on the systems engineering side of mobile manipulation and warehouse robotics. That includes the less glamorous but essential parts of robotics work: making behavior reliable, integrating software with hardware constraints, and ensuring that complex systems remain understandable as they grow.
Background
My path into robotics started in physics, continued through artificial intelligence, and eventually settled in the space where reasoning, perception, interaction, and execution meet. During my PhD in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence at Sapienza University of Rome, and through a visiting period at Carnegie Mellon University, I worked on topics such as semantic mapping, human-robot interaction, task acquisition, and knowledge representation.
What I care about
What still motivates me is a simple question with difficult consequences: how do we make machines act intelligently in a world that is messy, social, and only partially observable? I am especially drawn to approaches that balance expressive models with operational robustness. In other words, I care about systems that are not only smart on paper, but useful and dependable when deployed.
Over the years, that interest has taken different forms: research papers, patents, European projects, open-source contributions, and product-facing engineering work. This site is meant as a compact record of that trajectory: selected projects, publications, and a few of the ideas that have shaped how I think about robotics.
