Aerial Robotics
Among the several robotics fields, aerial robotics represents one of the most rapidly growing topic. Aerial robots, or UAV's, have the ability to reach hardly accessible areas, operate on rough terrains, while also enjoying a privileged point of view over the surroundings. Many problems in sensing, control and estimation must be addressed for UAV's safe and smart application.
Sensing
In order to effectively interact with the environment, autonomous systems must be able to sense and understand their surroundings.One of our research areas concerns the study of new sensing paradigms that can improve the understanding of the environment at low computational cost, hence increase the autonomy of robotics systems.

Multi-Robot Systems
Perception and estimation of the state of a robotic platform and the surrounding world are the foundational blocks for guaranteeing its autonomy. In particular, the mutual localization among the different robots, i.e., the estimation of the time-varying transformations between the frames attached to the main body of each robot, is a prerequisite for any cooperative complex motion control strategy.
