Alessandro Roncone

Alessandro Roncone is an Assistant Professor at the University of Colorado Boulder, where he leads the Human Interaction and Robotics (HIRO) Group. His research focuses on human-robot interaction, artificial intelligence, and robot control and planning, aiming to develop technologies that facilitate natural and effective cooperation between humans and robots. He obtained his Ph.D. in Robotics, Cognition, and Interaction Technologies from the Italian Institute of Technology in 2015, following a B.Sc. in Biomedical Engineering and an M.Sc. in NeuroEngineering.Before joining CU Boulder in 2018, Roncone was a postdoctoral associate at Yale University, where he worked on human-robot collaboration and advanced manufacturing. His expertise includes kinematics, optimization, decision-making under uncertainty, and tactile sensing. He has published extensively in top-tier robotics journals and conferences, contributing significantly to the field through both research and teaching. At CU Boulder, he teaches courses such as "Basic Robotic Behaviors and Odometry," equipping students with foundational skills in robotics. Through his work, Alessandro Roncone continues to push the boundaries of how robots can assist and collaborate with humans in various environments.
