Mario Selvaggio
About me
I am a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Naples Federico II, department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, affiliated to PRISMA Lab and ICAROS, and co-founder of the spinoff company BeyondShape.
I obtained the Ph.D. in Information Technology and Electrical Engineering in April 2020,
under the supervision of Prof.
Bruno Siciliano. Before that, I graduated in Mechanical Engineering with a
Bachelor's and a Master's degree obtained in January 2013 and March 2015,
respectively.
My research interests include: shared control/autonomy, robot teleoperation, passivity-based control, soft-robotics, robotic grasping and manipulation, robotic surgery.
If you are interested in working or collaborating with me, don't hesitate to reach out!
