DISCLAIMER: This site is not maintained anymore. I have graduated in February 2010 and moved to the Max Planck Institute for biological Cybernetics. If you are interested in my current activities go to: http://antoniofranchi.com/robotics.

I am a PhD student in System Engineering and Robotics, my research has to do with multi-robot systems. I developed the following algorithms:

• SRG multi-robot Exploration (and the former version SRT)
• Cooperative Mutual Localization with anonymous measures
• Distributed optimal Visibility Patrolling
• Distributed Pursuit-Evasion with Limited-Visibility Sensor
• Cooperative Encircling with anonymous measures

I have experimentally tested almost all of the algorithms with a team of self-modified KheperaIII and MIP , a software which I devised and I am currently developing.
I collaborated in the analysis and experimental validation of the simultaneous calibration problem.

Keywords: Cooperative Control and Estimation, Communication, Synchronization, Path Planning, Distributed Alghorithms, Exploration, Localization, Patrolling, Calibration.
