Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSebastiano Fregnan is a PhD student in Automatic Control at Lund University and a robotics software engineer with nine years of hands-on experience in compliant whole-body manipulation, force/torque sensing, and ROS-based control. His research, funded by WASP and affiliated with ABB’s WARA, blends experimental work on an ABB YuMi mounted on a mobile Fraunhofer platform with practical sensor integration to make robot motion feel more natural around obstacles. Prior roles include research and development in medical-robotics vision and simulation, where he delivered rapid milestones—often leading small teams to accelerate project timelines. A practiced teacher and tutor in systems theory and programming, he pairs rigorous mathematical problem-solving with clear, student-focused communication. Outside research he brings creative energy from theatrical lighting and amateur acting, a background that surfaces in his attention to detail and collaborative style. Notoriously caffeinated and fond of small, genuine teams, he values simplicity, transparency, and continuous learning.
