Pietro Falco

I received the Laurea Triennale and the Laurea Magistrale in 2006 and 2008 respectively. In February 2012, I received the Research Doctorate degree in Robotics and Automation and until February 2015 I held a Post-Doc position at Second University of Naples. From December 2010 to July 2011 I was a Visiting Scholar at Karlsruher Institute of Technology (KIT) in Karlsruhe, under the supervision of Prof. Dillmann. My research interests include machine learning for robotics, observation of human manipulation, robotic mobile manipulation, and Bayesian sensor fusion.

In March I was appointed "TUM Foundation Fellow" at Technical University of Munich and in February I earned a Marie Curie Individual Fellowship for the project proposal LEACON “LEArning-CONtrol tight interaction: a novel approach to robust execution of mobile manipulation tasks".  In order to gain experience in industrial research, in 2018 I joined ABB Corporate Research in  Sweden.

During my academic career, I put emphasis on both research and teaching. I have been assistant teacher and lecturer on diverse courses on math, robotics and reinforcement learning.

Beside scientific research, my passions are dancing and meditation, which I practice since 2014.
