Pino used a chance meeting, the classic \u201ccoffee moment\u201d at the university, to congratulate him and the whole group on the publication of an article in <em>Transactions on Robotics and Automation<\/em>. \u201c<em>It was Pino\u2019s characteristically inclusive message that made everyone feel part of the wider robotics community<\/em>,\u201d Giorgio Metta recalled.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Among the various messages of sympathy and remembrance was one from our <strong>Senior Scientist Antonio Bicchi<\/strong>: \u201cPino made some important contributions to research in Automation and Robotics. He created some of the earliest iterative learning algorithms at a time when it was not even thought possible, and our students still refer to them. He worked on non-holonomic systems with the style of someone who solves the most difficult problems without arrogance, he created and directed a submarine robotics group that has grown worldwide, and, with ISME (Centro Nazionale Interuniversitario sui Sistemi Integrati per L\u2019ambiente Marino &#8211; National Inter-University Centre on Integrated Systems for the Marine Environment), he created a veritable feather in our community\u2019s cap. And he did much more. Pino has left an indelible mark on the association of automation researchers, with his engaging manner of making everyone feel part of the same community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Giorgio Metta, along with IIT\u2019s roboticists and the entire community at the Institute, send their affectionate and heartfelt thoughts to Bice, Giulia and Greta.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IIT\u2019s condolences for the untimely loss of the ProfessorEmeritus<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":18626,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5039,4556],"tags":[5566,5567],"class_list":["post-26572","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en","category-en-robotics","tag-giorgio_metta-en","tag-icub_metta-en"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
