Italian roboticist
Davide Scaramuzza (born in
Terni ) is an Italian professor of robotics at the
University of Zurich , specialising on
micro air vehicles .
Education
Scaramuzza earned his master's degree from the
University of Perugia in 2004 and a Ph.D. in robotic perception from
ETH Zurich in 2008, where he worked with
Roland Siegwart . He completed further postdoctoral research at the
University of Pennsylvania under roboticists,
Vijay Kumar , and
Kostas Daniilidis .
[6]
Career
In 2012, Scaramuzza became a professor at the
University of Zurich , where he founded the "Robotics and Perception Group".
[6]
Scaramuzza's research focuses on the autonomous navigation of
micro air vehicles (or miniature drones) via onboard cameras and computation, and on
drone racing , as well as on
event cameras .
[6]
In 2015, Scaramuzza cofounded Zurich-Eye,
[7] which later became Facebook Zurich,
[8]
[9]
[10] which uses Zurich Eye's technology in
Oculus Quest .
