Giuseppe Loianno is an associate professor at UC Berkeley in the EECS department. Prior to Berkeley, he was a lecturer, research scientist and team leader. He received his B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in automation engineering, both with honors, from the University of Naples “Federico” in December 2007 and February 2010, respectively. He received his Ph.D. in computer and control engineering focusing in robotics in May 2014. Loianno has published more than 70 conference papers, journal papers and book chapters. His research interests include visual odometry, sensor fusion and visual servoing for micro aerial vehicles. His expertise is in the area of agile autonomy for small-scale aircrafts.
Relevant expertise:
- Agile aerial autonomy in constrained environments: develops perception, learning, and control algorithms for UAVs operating in GPS-denied spaces like forests, urban canyons, and indoor facilities
- Multirobot collaborative systems: creates frameworks for teams of aerial and ground vehicles to coordinate and collaborate autonomously for search, inspection, and surveillance missions
