Research
As Co-Director of the iCORE lab, I am leading the Robotic Kinematics and Dynamics (RKindD) group. Our group is focused on developing robotic systems that are able to operate in complex and unstructured environments, focusing on topics such as: Control Theory, Path Planning, Dynamic Moedling and Visual Robotic Control.
Our research is motivated by a wide range of robotic applications suchs as:
- Marine Robotics
- Robotics for Industrial Environments
- Mobile Robotic Manipulation for Personal
- Artificial Vision for Bio-Medical Applications
