I am a PhD researcher in Robotics, Control an Automation at the Department of Industrial Electronics of the University of Minho (Portugal). Before that, I graduated at University of Catania (Italy) in automation engineering and control of complex systems. My research consists in endowing the high-degree of freedom robotics arm-hand system with movement capacities that reflect fundamental characteristics of human motion. The main goal is to increase user acceptance by making the interactions with the robot smooth and predictable. Profile ©
