Fulvio Mastrogiovanni, Ph.D.

Fulvio is an Assistant Researcher at the Department of Communication, Computer and System Sciences (DIST), Faculty of Engineering, University of Genoa, Italy.

Currently, his research is focused on AI-related techniques for Ambient Intelligence, and specifically on context awareness, distributed situation assessment and dependable systems. In particular, he is working on Ubiquitous Robotics applications, where mobile robots interact and cooperate with intelligent environments. However, his main research interests are rapidly evolving towards self-aware systems and humanoid robots.

Fulvio received a 5-year Engineering Laurea degree in Computer Science in 2003, with a Thesis about task planning in Service Robotics. In 2003, he joined the Laboratorium group at DIST. In 2008, he received the Ph.D. degree in Robotics from University of Genoa, with the Dissertation Context Awareness: Another Step Towards Ubiquitous Robotics.

During the Ph.D. studies he pursued active research in various sectors of Robotics and Artificial Intelligence, specifically focusing on distributed knowledge representation, action planning, information fusion, self-localization and navigation.

Currently

Working on a paper for Autonomous Robots.

Working on a book chapter about Ubiquitous Robotics.
