Short bio

I come from Reggio Emilia, Italy. I earned a bachelor’s degree in Mechatronics Engineering and a master’s degree in Automation Engineering, both from the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia. In 2024, I spent six months at Inria for my master’s thesis, Perception-Aware Cable Suspended Multi-Drone Transportation.

My PhD, titled Sensors-based Distributed Control of Multi-Drone Systems for Agile Cooperative Aerial Manipulation, explores sensor-based and distributed coordination strategies for multi-aerial robot systems with cable-suspended loads, enabling collaborative object manipulation and transport through local interactions. I am pursuing my PhD under the supervision of Marco Tognon, Paolo Robuffo Giordano, and Nicola De Carli.

Short bio

Originally from Barcelona, Spain, my academic career includes a Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Electronics and Automatics and a Master’s degree in Automatic Control and Robotics from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC).

I spent a semester as an exchange student at the University of South-Eastern Norway while developing my Master’s thesis ‘Cooperative Multi-Modal Robots for Autonomous Coverage Path Planning,’

My PhD work centers on the ‘AEROTouch – Aerial Robots with the sense of Touch’ project, aiming to enhance aerial robot capabilities through tactile feedback under the supervision of Marco Tognon and Tommaso Belvedere.

Short bio

Je suis né à Bad Pyrmont, Allemagne, em Juillet 1994.
J’ai reçu mon M.Sc. de la Leibniz Université Hannover, Allemagne, en 2023. Pendant mon master, j’ai travaillé sur la robotique souple, avec un intérêt particulier pour la modélisation et l’estimation d’état.
Depuis Février 2024, je suis doctorant à Inria Rennes sous la supervision de Marco Tognon. Je travaille sur des approches basées sur les données pour l’interaction physique aérienne, avec pour objectif d’augmenter la robustesse du contrôleur grâce à des techniques d’apprentissage automatique.
