    • Università degli Studi di Genova

      2011 - 2014
      Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) Electronic, Computer, Robotic and Telecommunication Engineering

      My research field was robotic perception. During the PhD (started in January 2011), one of the goals was to adapt SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) algorithms, used in mobile robotics to automatically build a map of the environment and to estimate the path followed by the robot, to the use with wearable sensors (a laser scanner and a 6-DOF Inertial Measurement Unit, both fixed on a helmet). Furthermore, an object category recognition technique, based on the data gathered by a… Exibir mais My research field was robotic perception.
