On the summer of 2023 I had the honor to be accepted, together with other six students (pictured on the left), as one of the fellows for the ETH Robotics Student Fellowship 2022.

This program is organized by the RobotX initiative at ETH Zurich, and aims to offer graduate students from around the world the opportunity to research alongside experts on the field of robotics.

During two months I had the privilege to be at Zurich for a fully paid research internship at the Sensory-Motor Systems (SMS) Lab, leaded by
Dr. Robert Reiner.

Robotics Summer School
Robotics Summer School
As a kick-starter for the summer program we were taken to the facilities of the Swiss Army for the Robotics Summer School, a one-week intensive program on robotics.

Together with 50 selected graduate students from around the world, we received lectures, tutorials and hand-on work on robotics platforms (ROS - Linux) with focus on state estimation, localization and mapping, camera modeling, and more. All this with the final goal of achieving autonomous driving and object detection on a (semi)-​autonomous rough-​terrain UGV.

Elbow Synergies for the ANYexo

For the next two months I worked on a research project alongside
Dr. Yves Zimmerman and Michael Sommerhalder at the Sensory Motor System Lab.

The main goal of my project was to developed an algorithm that could help the ANYexo, a 9-DOF upper-limb exoskeleton (picturef on the left), to perform human-like trajectories by estimating and optimal elbow elevation angle (swivel angle), thus solving the kinematic redundancy of the exo.

In order to achieve this, I contributed on the analysis of kinematic data from healthy subjects to create a data base used to compute, with the use of a cost-function and statistical methods, and optimal swivel angle according to the actual position and orientation of the hand.

I am very thankful to the organizers of the RobotX program, my professors who inspire me, and to my mentors and members of the SMS lab who gave me a very warm welcome and helped me to make the most of my time there. Undoubtedly, this experience was a booster for my career, having know a wider view on how robotics are being applied in more and more challenging applications (rescue, rehabilitation, health, biology... ) for the good of the world and the humanity.
