Profile

Position:

Researcher

I study collective behaviour and distributed cognition, applying the insights from biological systems to the engineering of artificial ones. In particular, I work with robot swarms and I participated to the most important European projects in the field, namely Swarm-bots and Swarmanoid.My research interests span over self-organisation, complex systems, collective adaptive systems, swarm robotics and evolutionary robotics. The latter subject has been my main research focus in the past. Otherwise, I mainly study distributed cognitive systems in general, and swarm robotics systems in particular.

Research

My research team focuses on a variety of collective systems composed of interacting agents, spanning from neurons/neuroglia in the brain to people in a crowd, from insects in a colony to robots in a swarm. The overarching aim is to understand how cognitive processes like attention, decision making or categorisation emerge in a system from the numerous interactions among the system components, possibly organised in complex network topologies. The insights gathered in this endeavour are exploited to synthesise cyber-physical systems like robot swarms and cognitive radio networks to optimally deal with the complexity inherent to real-world applications.
