Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEmanuele De Pellegrin is a Research Associate at the University of Edinburgh’s Centre for AI in Assistive Autonomy, bringing eight years of hands-on experience in robotics, autonomous systems, and assistive AI. His work spans autonomous driving simulation and shared assistance decision-making in complex environments, grounded in a PhD in Robotics and Autonomous Systems from Edinburgh and practical VR teleoperation experience building Unity XR interfaces. He has moved between academic research and industry-proof prototyping—internships and roles at ORCA Hub, Heriot-Watt, and Touchlab demonstrate a blend of simulation, field robotics and human-in-the-loop systems. Comfortable with both low-level robotics and human-centred autonomy, he combines experimental rigour with applied development to advance assistive autonomy. An earlier background in chemistry brings a multidisciplinary perspective to sensor modelling and systems-level thinking.
