Biography

Marina Indri received the Laurea Degree cum laude in Electronic Engineering, and the Ph.D. degree in Systems Engineering, in 1991 and 1995, respectively, both from Politecnico di Torino, Italy. She is an Associate Professor of Automatic Control at Politecnico di Torino. Her research interests are in the industrial and mobile robotics field, including collision detection and avoidance, friction modelling and compensation; path planning and autonomous navigation of mobile robots; smart manufacturing and Industry 4.0. She is author of more than 100 papers in international journals, books and conference proceedings. She participated in various research projects and received awards for technology transfer results. She is IEEE Senior member, Elected Member-at-Large of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society AdCom; she served as Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics (Dec. 2015 - 2024) and as Technical Editor of the IEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechatronics (2019-2022). Since 2023, she has been Senior Editor of the IEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechatronics.
