Senior🎓
Top SchoolEnrico Hoffman is a humanoid robotics researcher with 12+ years of experience bridging academic excellence and industrial impact, holding a Ph.D. in Robotics and an M.Sc. in AI and Robotics (cum laude) from Sapienza. He has led whole-body control, simulation and compliant interaction efforts on platforms like COMAN, WALK-MAN and CENTAURO, contributing to the DARPA Robotics Challenge and multiple ESA- and INAIL-funded projects. His work spans hierarchical inverse dynamics, Cartesian impedance control, motion planning and tele-operation, and he co-founded the IIT technology transfer project ALBEROBOTICS. A seasoned editor and community leader (RA-L, ICRA, IEEE RAS whole-body TC), he combines deep algorithmic skill with practical software architectures for deployable humanoids. Based in France, he blends systems-level thinking with hands-on robot development—a researcher who equally values rigorous modeling and real-world deployments.
