Om Paolo Forte
Bio
I am currently a Postdoctoral Researcher in Computer Science at the AI, Robotics and Cybersecurity Center (ARC).
I hold a bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from Università della Calabria (UNICAL), Rende, Italy, where my thesis focused on the analysis of innovative engines for aerospace vehicles. After completing my bachelor’s degree, I moved to Pisa to pursue a master’s degree in Robotics and Automation Engineering at the Università di Pisa. My master’s thesis addressed optimal task assignment for fleets of mobile robots and investigated the integration of symbolic AI search methods with continuous robot planning and coordination. This work was carried out at Örebro University during an exchange period.
I completed a PhD in Computer Science at Örebro University. My doctoral research focused on autonomous robotic systems operating in complex and dynamic environments, with particular emphasis on task and motion planning, multi-robot coordination, and the integration of symbolic AI planning with perception and control.
Throughout my studies, I developed a strong interest in robotics, building skills in mechanics and software design during my bachelor’s degree and in control and development of robotic systems during my master’s and PhD studies. I have experience with tools such as MATLAB and ROS. I also gained collaborative experience through several team projects, including the design and control of a 3-DOF robotic arm from scratch, the development of a neural network for detecting masses and calcifications in mammography images, and the implementation of a control system for a UAV.
