FrancescoUmberto/README.md

Hi, I'm Umberto Francesco!

Currently graduate research assistant at the Information Systems Laboratory (SisInfLab), Polytechnic University of Bari, Italy.

My research focuses on Smart Cities, Cyber-Physical Systems, and Robotics.

πŸ“š Education

  • Master's in Computer Science Engineering (Cyber-Physical Systems specialization)
  • Bachelor's in Computer and Automation Engineering

⌘ Interests

  • Robotics β€” mobile robot navigation, path planning, sensor fusion
  • Embedded control β€” real-time firmware, data acquisition, Arduino/C++
  • Smart City β€” urban mobility, traffic simulation, digital twins, public-transit data
  • Utility apps β€” small tools that fix the friction in my daily workflow

πŸ› οΈ Tech Stack

C++ C Python TypeScript JavaScript Java React Arduino Linux

πŸš€ Projects

  • adam_project β€” a thrust stand for drone motors: distributed acquisition of thrust, RPM, current, voltage, temperature and noise, with modular C++ firmware and safe motor control.
  • Self-Balancing Robot (SBRobot) using classic control method (PID) on real hardware.
  • SBRobot_DRL using Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) in Mujoco simulation.
  • Planning Algorithm for Strategic Task Allocation - agent to strategically allocate tasks between robotic agents, such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) and Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV).

🧰 Utility apps

  • GoodBases a custom Bases view for Obsidian rendering databases as a Notion-style table: colored value pills, inline cell editing, hover-reveal actions.
