Hi! I’m Francesco, I’m the manager of the software department in our lab!

I would like to congratulate three students of our lab with the completion of their internships! Alex, Vincent and Mario have just finished their work-experiences at PAL Robotics. Here a brief update on them!

Vision TeamVision TeamAlex has returned from Barcelona to Toulouse where he finished his course with an excellent score of 15/20! PAL Robotics is grateful for his work and we hope to hear from him again very soon. Visual place recognition is a topic that still needs lots of research, but thanks to Alex now we can integrate the best progress in this field in our robots.

Vincent was always last to leave the lab, sometimes we had to beg him to go! ;) But thanks to his tremendous work he graduated with the outstanding score of 18,5/20! Without a doubt, improving the visual odometry will never be the same without him. He wanted to share a few words of thanks on the blog: “I’m very grateful to the company of PAL Robotics for giving me the opportunity to work on their premises and being able to complete my internship in such a great way. The experience I gained will surely become an asset in my future, thanks to them.

 

Mario has just finished his mini project at PAL and went back home to Italy (nice country!).While improving the graphical Scilab, Mario realized for the first time what the "demo effect" means. ;-) We thank him for his contribution hoping that the experience here will be useful for him. We wish him all the best in his further studies and researches.
