Italian roboticist
Davide Scaramuzza (born in Terni ) is an Italian professor of robotics at the University of Zurich , specialising on micro air vehicles .
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]
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 .[ 11]
Scaramuzza's research has appeared in The New York Times ,[ 12] BBC News ,[ 13] [ 14] [ 15] la Repubblica ,[ 16] and Neue Zürcher Zeitung ,[ 17] MIT Technology Review ,[ 18] Wired ,[ 19] [ 20] and IEEE Spectrum .[ 21] [ 22] [ 23]
