About
Antonio Petitti is an Italian robotics and automation researcher whose work sits at the intersection of multi-robot systems, the Internet of Things, and cooperative manipulation. Best known for his influential 2020 survey on the Internet of Robotic Things in smart domains (154 citations), Petitti has helped define the conceptual landscape of Industry 4.0 by examining how IoT and robotic technologies converge to create next-generation intelligent systems. A significant thread of his research addresses cooperative manipulation, where teams of networked mobile robots jointly handle unknown loads — work that required developing novel decentralized controllers and distributed parameter estimation algorithms, earning dozens of citations across multiple publications from 2014 to 2016. His contributions extend to industrial IoT case studies in environmental monitoring, ambient intelligence sensor networks, and UAV-based aerial manipulation. More recently, Petitti has turned his attention to precision agriculture, exploring RGB-D multi-view perception and Robot-as-a-Service paradigms for smart farming applications. Across his career, he has demonstrated a consistent ability to bridge theoretical rigor with real-world deployability, making his research highly relevant to engineers and computer scientists building the next generation of intelligent, cooperative robotic systems.
