Alessandra is a robotics researcher at the Robotics & Autonomous Systems unit of the Department of Mechanics of the Belgian Royal Military Academy.
She completed her Master's Degree in Automation and Control Engineering at Politecnico di Milano. During her studies, Alessandra’s Master Thesis focused on free space detection, collision avoidance using B-Spline and design and realization of a Graphic User Interface for teleoperated robot in unknown environments. She developed her Master Thesis during a period abroad at the Tohoku University of Sendai, Japan.
After her studies, Alessandra undertook a research fellowship at Politecnico di Milano. During this time, she worked on a Reinforcement Learning framework aimed at automating the manipulation of Deformable Linear Objects, as part of the Co-MIR PRIN project funded by Italian Government.
In 2024, Alessandra joined the RMA to work on the DREAM project, aimed at enhancing reconnaissance and mapping operations using unmanned ground robots equipped with robotic arms and a VR command console. The project focuses on integrating these technologies to create a system that promotes accurate, efficient, and user-friendly situational awareness.
