Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolFrancesco Semeraro is a postdoctoral researcher and robotics engineer with five years’ experience specializing in human-robot interaction and adaptive robot control across academic and industry settings. He earned a PhD from The University of Manchester studying multi-user triadic human-robot collaboration and has applied that expertise to EU-funded projects (MUSAE) and applied robotics at Fieldwork Robotics and Aidrivers. His work blends physical manipulation, cognitive modeling and usability-driven prototyping, including large-scale validation studies with industry partners like BAE Systems and public exhibits in Belgrade. At Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia he contributes to ergoCub Core research aimed at improving human-centered robotic assistance, demonstrating a rare combination of hands-on system integration and user-centric evaluation. Motivated by societal impact, he designs solutions that minimize physical strain (e.g., torque-aware multi-arm pick cycles) while accounting for human perception and interaction.
