Edoardo Lamon

I am a Post-Doc at the Human-Robot Interfaces and Interaction (HRI²) group at the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT), Genoa, Italy. In 2021 I defended my PhD thesis entitled "Ergonomic and Worker-Centric Human-Robot Collaboration: Strategies, Interfaces and Controllers", carried out at the HRI² and at the Department of Information Engineering,  University of Pisa, Italy, evaluated with Excellent Cum Laude and  awarded as finalist for the Georges Giralt PhD Award 2022. I received a M.Sc. degree in Control and Automation Engineering and B.Sc. degree in Information Engineering from University of Padova, Italy, in 2017 and 2014, respectively. My research, developed within the Horizon-2020 European project SOPHIA, the ERC grant Ergo-Lean, and the Horizon-2020 European project CONCERT, focuses on combining robotics knowledge with artificial intelligence (AI), with the aim to boost collaborative robotics in human-populated environments. I am also involved in technology transfer projects, such as  the JOiiNT LAB IIT-Intellimech at the Kilometro Rosso Innovation District, the National BRIC grant BRISK in collaboration with INAIL, and the Amazon Research Awards 2019. I was also a finalist for the best paper award on mobile manipulation at IROS 2022, for the best paper at I-RIM (2021 & 2019), and for the MECSPE Solution Award 2020. My interests lie in human-robot collaboration, AI, robot control and learning.
