Brief Bio

I'm an associate professor in the Dartmouth Computer Science department. I co-direct the Reality and Robotics Lab. My main research interests include: autonomous mobile robotics, artificial intelligence, and agents and multiagent systems.

Before joining Dartmouth, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow (2015) and Research Assistant Professor (2016-2018) in the Autonomous Field Robotics Laboratory (AFRL), led by prof. Ioannis Rekleitis, at the Computer Science & Engineering Department of the University of South Carolina. I received a M.Sc. in Computer Science Engineering (2011) and a Ph.D. in Information Technology (2015) from Politecnico di Milano at the Dipartimento di Elettronica, Informazione e Bioingegneria. Under the supervision of prof. Francesco Amigoni, my main research work has focused on the problem of studying, defining, and evaluating exploration policies that drive autonomous mobile robots around initially unknown environments to build their map. From February to July 2014, I have been a visiting PhD student at Research on Sensor Networks Lab directed by prof. Volkan Isler, at the Computer Science Department of the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, USA.

Research

I'm interested in low-cost robot autonomy and exploration in challenging environments, particularly the aquatic environments. I strive to apply the technology for high-impact applications for the society; currently two main directions are environmental monitoring and underwater mapping and archaeology, which are supported by NSF (1919647, 1923004, 2024541, 2144624).

Envisioned scenario for environmental monitoring.

Envisioned scenario for underwater mapping.

Research highlights include communication constrained multi-robot exploration, multi-robot information gathering, low-cost state estimation, robust obstacle detection and avoidance for ASVs. Below a few highlights, and you can find also the videos from our youtube channel.

ASV Obstacle Avoidance

Obstacle avoidance in waterways is a challenge compared to self-driving cars due to the absence of well-defined structure and rules. We have been working on interpretable strategies based on multi-objective optimization that allows autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs) to navigate in high-traffic scenarios, guaranteeing safety, at the same time compliance, when possible, to the vague rules of the sea.

Low-cost Underwater Sensing

Sensing underwater presents unique challenges, particularly due to its inherent characteristic, such as light attenuation and color change, the absence of mainstream sensors that works well out of the water but doesn't underwater (GPS, LiDAR, RGB-D camera, etc.), and requires expensive sensors, such as multibeam sonar, Doppler Velocity Logger (with costs in the order of $10k-100k). We have been working on fusing a number of different inexpensive sensors (monocular camera+single-beam echosounder, monocular camera and 4 lights, ...) to improve the situational awareness of low-cost underwater robots, achieving good trajectory estimates and 3D reconstruction.

Underwater Construction

Manipulation and underwater construction is an open problem, given the external factors that affect the accuracy and precision of state estimation and control. Following a direction on hardware-algorithm co-design, we have developed novel manipulators and blocks that allow the underwater robot to grasp and drop them reliably even with such uncertainty. We have also developed a buoyancy control system which enables the robot to lift heavy cement blocks.

Air-underwater Sensing/Communication

Localizing and communicating with an underwater robot to a base station currently requires a significant overhead, with surface vehicles/buoys outfitted with acoustic devices, given that there is no GPS or WiFi communication infrastructure working underwater. We have proposed to use a laser-light based system to enable sensing/communication between underwater robot and aerial drone, eliminating the need of surface devices.
