Dr. Luigi Palmieri

My research focuses on: control theory, kinodynamic motion planning in dynamic environments, learning of and kinodynamic motion planning with socially normative behaviors. Nowadays I am involved in the Spencer Project, www.spencer.eu. SPENCER will break new ground for cognitive systems in populated environments.

I have been envolved in the project Embedded Systems in Critical Domains founded by Selex-es (a Finmeccanica company). The focus of the project includes the development of embedded systems in critical domains, in such framework I have been working on the topic of "Passive Coherent Localization": detection of human beings in cluttered indoor environment by exploiting machine learning and adaptive filtering techniques. Tools used: C++, FPGA, Matlab.

Developing a Dynamic Simulator of the Kuka Youbot mobile manipulator platform, using Simulink/Matlab

Developing a network of tactile sensors lying on a robot hand exploiting microcontrollers and FPGA systems.

Robot motion planning and navigation in dynamic, cluttered and crowded environments.
