Congratulations to Mattia Montanari for successfully defending his thesis on The Sound of Bees: Stop signal detection and automatic audio and video monitoring in beehives.
I participated at ICN 2026, International Congress for Neuroethology in Vancouver, Canada.
I presented my work RO-BAT and SonoRo: bio-inspired swarm robotics platforms for audio-driven navigation at Batellite symposium 2026, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada.
I participated at ANTS 2026, International Conference on Swarm Intelligence in Darmstadt, Germany.
I run a live demo of the SonoRo platform and I presented a poster about my work.
I started my PhD at University of Konstanz continuing my work on the robotic platfrom started in March 2025.
I started to supervise Riccardo Corà, Master student in Acoustics from Politecnico di Milano expanding and refining the RO-BAT platform.
My work titled SonoRo: a Swarm Robotics Platform to Study Acoustically-Driven Collective Behaviour has been accepted as extended abtract at ANTS 2026, International Conference on Swarm Intelligence in Darmstadt, Germany.
I participated at IROS 2025 conference in Hangzhou, China where I presented at the following workshops:
I started supervising Mattia Montanari, Master student in Acoustics from Politecnico di Milano working on developing the automated audio and video recording of a beehive for acoustic monitoring.
I participated at IBAC 2025 International Bioacoustics Congress in Kerteminde, Denmark, where I presented a poster.
Congratulations to Gabriele Baroli for successfully defending his thesis on Echolocation for the RO-BAT platform: biomimetic autonomous mobile robot navigation exploiting ultrasonic echoes
I started to work at University of Konstanz as research assistant in the Active Sensing Collectives Lab lead by Dr. T.Beleyur. My project aims at building a new swarm robotic platform that used audio to navigate. The goal is to extend current group coordination modalities and to prove biological models with real experiments.
I participated at ANTS 2024 Conference at Uni Konstanz showing my Thesis work to visitors.
I started to supervise Gabriele Baroli, Master student in Acoustics from Politecnico di Milano working on the design and creation of the ultrasonic RO-BAT platform.
I participated at ICRA@40, 40th Anniversary of the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, with a demo of my Thesis work.
I started my master thesis at University of Konstanz about swarm Ro-bat-ics. The project is about creating a robotic bat to study echolocation and group navigation in swarm of bats. The project is supervised by Dr. T.Beleyur.
