Luca Muratore

Luca Muratore is Technologist at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT) in the Humanoids and Human-Centered Mechatronics (HHCM) research line. In 2020 He received his split-site Ph.D. degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from the University of Manchester and IIT, with a Ph.D. thesis entitled “A Flexible Cross-Robot Software Framework for Robot Control: from on-board to Cloud Execution”. He obtained his bachelor's and master's degrees, both in Software Engineering at the University of Pisa in 2011 and 2014 respectively. He carried out his Master's thesis (on Distributed Systems and Cloud Computing) at Universidad Politecnica de Madrid (UPM) after a six months internship in the Distributed System Lab (LSD). Since May 2014 he has been working as a Lead Software Engineer at IIT for the HHCM research line. In 2015 he participated in the DARPA Robotics Challenge as a WALK-MAN team member. He was involved in several EU projects as the main responsible for the software integration given the design and development of the XBot software framework; the main ones are: FP7 WALK-MAN (with the EU innovation radar award for the XBot software architecture) H2020 CENTAURO, H2020 CogiMON and currently H2020 CONCERT, H2020 SOPHIA, Horizon Europe HARIA, and Horizon Europe euROBIN. His main research interests are software architecture for robotics, human-robot collaboration, robotics teleoperation, cloud robotics, grasp planning, and robotics manipulation. He was the coordinator of the European project ROS End-Effector, a ROS-Industrial Focused Technical Project and He is the co-coordinator of the Italian MISE founded project RELAX (Robot Enabler for Load Assistive RelaXation). He is on the Organization Committee of the IEEE Robotic Computing (IRC) conference as program co-chair, and He is engaged as responsible for the software architecture and integration in the Alberobotics IIT startup (https://alberobotics.it/), the JOiiNT LAB IIT-Intellimech (https://www.iit.it/it/tech-transfer/joint-labs/joiint-lab) and the IIT-Leonardo joint lab. He was involved in the PHOLUS commercial project under the agreement of the Defense Ministries of Italy and Singapore and the collaboration of A* research center.
