About

Andrea Di Matteo is a researcher focused on sensor fusion, environment perception, and assistive navigation technologies. His major contributions center on the development of portable, wearable systems that integrate multiple range sensors for real-time obstacle detection and spatial exploration—work that bridges automotive safety and human mobility assistance. As a key contributor to the INSPEX H2020 project, Di Matteo helped design and integrate a miniaturized, low-power multi-sensor device capable of detecting static and mobile obstacles under varying visibility conditions. His most cited paper, "INSPEX: Optimize Range Sensors for Environment Perception as a Portable System" (2019, 7 citations), addresses the critical challenge of safe navigation for both autonomous vehicles and visually impaired individuals. A companion work from 2017 (6 citations) further details the system's design and integration. While his citation counts reflect a focused, early-stage body of work, Di Matteo's research holds significant translational potential—applying automotive-grade perception to wearable technology. His efforts contribute to the growing field of smart assistive devices, aiming to enhance safety and autonomy for vulnerable users in complex environments.
