Alessandro Albini received his PhD in 2020 at the University of Genoa, Italy. His research interests are related to artificial robot skin technologies and their applications to human-robot interaction and robot control. During his PhD, he worked on methods to process and classify large area tactile data and on the development of tactile feedback based control laws for robots.
He joined the Soft Robotics Lab as a Post Doctoral Researcher in September 2020. He is currently working on robotic tactile perception under the supervision of Professor Perla Maiolino.
