Biografia

Over the past decades, industrial revolutions hinted to future fully automated scenarios, where humans would have taken on the role of mere supervisors. However, the need for mass product customization, rather than mass production, has led to a new concept of production line, where robots share workspaces with humans. The solutions envisaged by Industry 5.0 are human-centered and flexible manufacturing setups, where fixed-base and mobile robots collaborate with humans. This interaction has yet to become smooth given the difference in cognitive capabilities. To teach robots the correct and safe behaviour during collaboration, artificial intelligence can be leveraged to enable operation recognition and allow for learning. Current research interest focuses on the use of machine learning, deep learning and reinforcement learning to improve collaboration among humans and robot.


Fiorella received a M.Sc degree in Mechatronic Engineering in 2017 in Politecnico di Torino, after having obtained a B.Sc degree in Computer Engineering from the same university. The M.Sc thesis was developed within the Robotics Research Group laboratory at Politecnico di Torino, in collaboration with the HotBlack Robotics startup (Torino), using 3D printing technology and Open Source frameworks and tools such as ROS (Robot Operating System) and Docker containerization. Moreover, during the experience as research assistant in the DET (Dipartimento di Elettronica e Telecomunicazioni) department in Politecnico di Torino in 2018, she worked within the HuManS (Human centered Manufacturing Systems) project coordinated by COMAU S.p.a., with the aim of designing a network of AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robots), able to integrate the role of a well-established system of AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) within an industrial scenario, involving dynamic environments (e.g., shared with human operators). The purpose was to design system specifications so as to provide support to preexisting mobile platforms and to enable an easier human-machine collaborative interaction. The project, related to the improvement of smart factories, was funded by Regione Piemonte.
