WORK EXPERIENCE Nov 2008 Sep 2006 May 2007 Nov 2005 Feb 2006 Knowledge Engineer and Project Manager, Algorithmica s.r.l., Viale delle Mura Gianicolensi 81, 00152, Roma, Italy. Has been collaborating in several projects concerning knowledge engineering and the development of semantic knowledge management systems for small and middle sized firms. Rep.: Eng. Ph.D. Vittorio A. Ziparo. Trainee, European Space Agency (ESA ESRIN), Via Galileo Galilei snc, Frascati (Roma), Italy. Design and implementation of a JMS-compliant messaging middleware and deployment of a GridSphere-based generic communications node, with chat and videoconferencing services based on SOA architecture. The project has been developed within the context of C@R project, co-funded by the European Union, which aims at bringing IT technologies to rural areas. Rep.: Doc. Luigi Fusco. Trainee, AISoftw@re Technologies & Solutions S.p.A., Via Cristoforo Colombo 456, Roma, Italy. Completed a stage at AISoftw@re for the performance evaluation of an infrastructural middleware for an aerial traffic control software owned by Alenia. Doc. Alessandro Bufano. RESEARCH Gabriele Randelli is a Ph.D. student at Dipartimento di Informatica e Sistemistica Antonio Ruberti (DIS), Sapienza Universitá di Roma, and a member of the Ro.Co.Co. Laboratory (Cognitive and Cooperative Robots), held by Prof. Daniele Nardi. His research topics involve artificial intelligence and robotics: Human-Robot Interaction: - robot interface design through user evaluation; - enhancing HRI awareness through semantic knowledge; - tangible user interfaces for natural human-robot interaction; - interactive robot learning; Cognitive Robotic Systems 3/5

4 - development of context-based robot architectures; - robot ontology modeling; Search and Rescue Robotics Gabriele is involved in several projects. He has been collaborating at the development of OpenR- DK (Open-source Robot Development Kit) framework, which fosters an efficient and high-quality design of robot systems. He s the maintainer of the robotic system adopted by SPQR Team during RoboCup Virtual Robots Competitions. He is co-developer of an interface for rescue robotics, DesktopInterface, which has been awarded by the Technical Committee during RoboCup He developed WiiC, an open-source C/C++ library to interface Wiimote devices and its extensions with robots, allowing for natural tele-operation, gesture recognition, pro-active and responsive feedback methods. Concerning symbolic representations and semantic knowledge, he modeled a robot ontology for indoor unstructured environment, USAREnv, adopting ontology design pattern (ODP) techniques. He has an established knowledge about robot simulators (Player/Stage, USARSim, Webots) and real robotic platforms (wheeled robots and humanoid robots mainly).
