FEECS Journal Club XXVI

We invite you to the 26th FEI Journal Club, which will take place on December 11 at EC2 from 12:30 p.m. The guest will be Professor Filippo Sanfilippo, who received his PhD in Engineering Cybernetics from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Norway, focusing on intelligent approaches to the control of robotic manipulators.

His research focuses on human-robot collaboration (HRT), which includes robotics, wearable devices, human-robot collaboration, artificial intelligence, and control theory. He currently serves as a professor at the Faculty of Engineering and Science at the University of Agder (UiA) in Grimstad, Norway. He has extensive experience participating in European research programs and various national projects of the Norwegian Research Council (RCN). He is the author and co-author of several professional articles in various journals and conferences and a reviewer.

Professor Sanfilippo's lecture will focus on Human-robot Teaming (HRT), how humans and robots interact, as well as how to develop robots that can adapt to human behavior. Human-robot cooperation (HRC) expands on this by creating new approaches and technologies that allow robots to collaborate with people in shared environments. The field of human-robot teaming (HRT) goes one step further, by studying how to create teams of humans and robots that can work together effectively and efficiently to achieve common goals. In this talk, an overview of the possible real-life applications for HRT will be presented.

The lecture will be presented in English. 

We look forward to seeing you there!
