Background

About Francesco Setti

I'm currently Associate Professor at the Department of Engineering for Innovation Medicine of the University of Verona and Associate Researcher of the Institute of Cognitive Science and Technology of the Italian National Research Council (ISTC-CNR). Previously I was Post-Doc Research Fellow at the University of Verona, at the Laboratory for Applied Ontology of the Institute of Cognitive Science and Technology, Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (ISTC-CNR) in Trento, and earlier at the Measurement Instrumentation and Robotics Group of the University of Trento running the individual PAT-EU Cofund Marie Curie Action project ABILE. I'm a Mechatronics Engineer graduated at the University of Trento and I took my PhD from the University of Padua. My background is in Computer Vision, Machine Learning and Robotics. I co-authored more than 50 papers in international peer-reviewed journals and conferences. I'm member of the Editorial Board of Cognitive Processing journal, and I serve as reviewer for top ranked journals and conferences like Computer Vision and Image Understanding, CVPR, ICCV, ICPR, ICRA, IROS, IJCAI, and ACM Multimedia. I co-founded three start-up companies: one working on robotics and mechatronics (Robosense S.r.l.) and one on high-tech instrumentations for sports and fitness (Libon S.r.l.), and one working on AI for manufacturing processes (Qualyco S.r.l.).
