I am Mirko, from the charming town of Sora in Italy. My academic journey is rooted in a passion for control engineering and computer science. I obtained a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Automatic Control from the prestigious University La Sapienza in Rome, where I graduated with the highest honours. Expanding upon this foundation, I completed a Master of Science in Control Engineering at the same reputable institution. where I attained the highest grade with distinction.
Organisations
My research focuses on nonlinear control for robotic and mechatronic systems, especially feedback linearization, task switching, and energy-aware actuation. I develop controllers that allow robots to adapt between different operational modes while preserving stability and tracking performance.
My recent work studies how systems can switch between dexterous modes, where all inputs are used for full maneuverability, and energy-saving modes, where unnecessary or energy-intensive inputs are deactivated. I also investigate switching among different feedback-linearizing output sets and classify actuator inputs according to their role in achieving a task: essential, redundant, or dexterity inputs.
Overall, my goal is to design control methods that make robotic systems more adaptive, efficient, and reliable, enabling smooth transitions between full-performance and reduced-task operation.
