Research interests

Matteo’s research revolves around robots that do things. He designs systems and algorithms to bring useful autonomous robots in our everyday life, capable of long-term, rational, and adaptive behaviour. His work usually has to do with automated reasoning, planning, or reinforcement learning, one way or another.

He is the director of the Sensible Robots Reserach Group.
