Dr Daniele De Martini

postdoctoral research assistant at the Oxford Robotics Institute; College Lecturer in Engineering Science at Pembroke College

I grew up in Pavia, Italy, where I was awarded a BSc in Mechanical Engineering. Subsequentially, I had an MSc in Mechatronic Engineering at the Politecnico di Torino and a PhD in Robotics in Pavia, working on energy-management algorithms for reducing the power consumption of electromechanical devices.

Since 2018 I have been working in the Mobile Robotics Group at the Oxford Robotics Institute. Specifically, my research focuses on navigation and scene understanding, including topics like mapping and localisation, detection, and segmentation, using different sensing technologies – from vision to laser to radar – and in diverse environments and conditions – from central Oxford to snowy Highlands.

I have a passion for cyber-physical systems, among which robots shine, and I love working on making robots autonomously operate from the ground up. In doing so, I am increasingly involved in machine learning and believe learning and adaptation are paramount for robot autonomy.

In 2022, I joined Pembroke College as College Lecturer in Engineering Science, teaching Structures and Mechanics.
