The thesis work, titled A Sensor Skin for Advanced Robotic Applications, had as its primary objective the development of a first prototype of an artificial skin intended for advanced robotic applications. With the growing interest in Human-Robot Interaction, many research groups are attempting to provide to humanoid robots, or to simple manipulators, of distributed sensor that can give them the sense of touch, which is essential for the execution of manipulation tasks and of tasks in an unstructured environments, where robots and humans share the same workspace and where, therefore, there is a need that the robot can autonomously detect danger for surrounding objects, and for the human. Cover a large area, which can be the whole body of a robot or a part of it, is not an established practice, in fact, for the development of an artificial skin various figures of merit are emerging: consumption in terms of power required for the proper operation of a distributed sensor, robustness, modularity and flexibility to allow the skin to adapt to curved surfaces of the robot, spatial resolution. In the work carried out in the thesis, a prototype of a modular skin based on optoelectronic technology has been developed. Each module, equipped with a microcontroller, is arranged in a chain (Daisy-Chain configuration) and communicates with the other modules via a serial interface (SPI) used for the data transfer at high speed. For the realization of a system that was as modular as possible, a software for the embedded devices has been developed, able to identify, autonomously, the number of modules connected to the chain and, therefore able to adapt, without making any alterations to the hardware and software architecture of the system, to the changes of the skin configuration. The various modules, first made with the technique of photoengraving, were designed using the CAD/CAM Eagle software, already thinking to the future developments which provide, in the first instance, the production in rigid-flex technology of the skin modules. The developed skin, updated with an optoelectronic proximity sensor, has been installed on an ABB industrial robot executing a repetitive task: with it, the robot was able to recognize the presence of a neighborhood object so it can reduce the operation speed proportionally to the object distance; moreover, the robot is stopped when a contact occurs, that is detected by the skin sensor. The studied were focused on the learning of the basic concepts about: Automatic Control; Telecommunication Systems; Electromagnetic and Photonic Technologies for Transmission

The objectives of the work were the design and the development of a first prototype of a modular artificial skin for advanced robotic applications based on optoelectronic technology and on off-the-shelf components. The system developed is constituted of different intelligent modules (Master module and one or more Slave modules), which are implemented with a Microchip PIC microcontroller, that communicate via the SPI interface. The training ended with the submission of the paper titled A Modular and Low-Cost Artificial Skin for Robotic Applications to 4th IEEE RAS/EMBS International Conference on Biomedical Robotics and Biomechatronics. 25/07/ /08/2011 Participation to the Campus@Micron in Information Technology at Micron Technology in Avezzano (AQ). During Campus@Micron, the following areas of ICT were presented: IT Governance; Information Security; IT Governance Software methodology: Project Management and RUP; Network Infrastructure; System and Storage management: virtualization, DAS/NAS/SAN technologies for storage, diskless PC, RAID (UNIX/LINUX and Windows perspectives); Systems management solution: Performance analysis Measurement, Patrol Central, High Reliability solutions (redundancy, Cluster System); DB administration: Microsoft SQL Server management, fault tolerance management; Introduction to ASP.Net environment; Grid Computing and Micron solution: Condor; MES System: Automation and APC (Advanced Process Control) systems integration; Business Intelligence; Introduction to SharePoint; Business Intelligence and SharePoint integration. 09/ /07/2010 Bachelor s Thesis in Computer Engineering (110/110). The thesis, titled Progettazione ed ottimizzazione di un sistema di acquisizione per sistemi multisensorizzati, was carried out within the DEXMART project funded by the European Community and to which the DII of the Facolt di Ingegneria - SUN participates. The topics covered allowed the learning of the main programming methodologies for embedded programmable systems. Specifically, the Microchip PIC microcontrollers were used for the realization of devices that allow the acquisition and the A/D conversion of transducers signals, such as optoelectronic sensors and tactile sensors for the measurement of angular variations of the joints of a data glove. The system was also optimized with the introduction of an external A/D converter, which is capable of communicate with the microcontroller via SPI protocol and which provides a higher number of analog channels and a higher sample rate. Later, the acquisition board has been synchronized with a VICON MOCAP system to acquire data alternatively from the mocap cameras and from the transducers used on the DII robotic sensorized glove. The circuit was implemented first on a printed circuit board via CNC machine and, later, in SMD technology after the develop of the SPICE model via Target3001! and Eagle CAD software. The thesis has also allowed the learning of the.net C# language, used to realize an application for the data acquisition through RS232 protocol and for displaying the data in the MATLAB environment.

Best interactive presentation for the article submitted to Automatica.it 2013 (Sidra2013) titled From the DEX- MART tactile sensor to the SAPHARI artificial skin. September rd Prize in Altera Design Contest InnovateItaly. Team member of the project titled An inertial haptic interface for robotic applications. In the work will be demonstrated that inertial measurement can be used to acquire rich data about human movements and gestures, that can be utilized to control any robotic systems or in videoludic purposes. A wireless six/nine degree-of-freedom inertial measurement unit (IMU) will be used to collect the data. Utilizing the acquired data, an elaboration algorithm will provide the orientation of the sensor with respect an earth reference frame. These information can be used to control the movements of a robotic system, i.e., to control a quadcopter or to control a robotic arm. So, the sensor, supported by an intelligent unit, i.e. FPGA, will be an inertial haptic interface, that can be introduced in videoludic, robotic and medical (i.e., inertial interface for assistant robots) applications.

8 Andrea Cirillo s Curriculum Vitæ 6 December nd Prize in Altera Design Contest 2011 InnovateItaly. Team manager and member of the project titled Real Time Control of an Anthropomorphic Robotic Arm using FPGA. The project objective was the implementation of a control system for a 6DOF anthropomorphic arm using the FPGA granted by Altera with the Altera DE1 Board. The robotic arm was also developed within the same project using commercial components such as Hitec servomotors and profiles of lightweight aluminum. Using two Altera DE1 Board e two Xbee Pro wireless modules, the user can steer the manipulator at long distance with a PC keyboard. The team has tried to design a low-cost control system for a little robotic arm (using an emerging technology) that can be used for the manipulation of dangerous objects (chemicals and toxicants), for rescue operations and in any operation in which human intervention is critical. The project has been developed using the software and the technologies granted by Altera: Altera DE1 Board with FPGA Cyclone II, Quartus II 11.0, SOPC Builder and Qsys, NIOS II 11.0 IDE. 6 Publications and Proceedings 6.1 International Journal Paper [IJ1] A.
