Ciao 👋 I'm Riccardo

Robotics & Autonomous Systems · Agricultural Robotics · Multi-Robot Intelligence

Senior Lecturer at the University of Lincoln (L-CAS).
I design robotic systems that operate reliably in complex outdoor environments — vineyards, orchards, and forests.

🌱 Research

I explore how aerial and ground robots collaborate to achieve long-term autonomy under uncertainty and seasonal change.

Focus areas

• Informative path planning
• UAV–UGV collaborative mapping
• Long-term localisation in visually aliased environments
• Sensor fusion for resilient autonomy
