About

Alessandro Carbonari is an Italian researcher whose work spans construction robotics, automation, and cyber-physical systems, with particular emphasis on improving safety and productivity in the built environment. He has made significant contributions to the development of robotic systems for construction applications, most notably through his pioneering research into automated interior wall painting. His early work, conducted alongside collaborators Naticchia and Giretti, demonstrated that spraying robotized systems could be practically deployed on construction sites, culminating in a multi-colour automated painting system that attracted 28 citations and represented a meaningful step toward reducing human exposure to hazardous working conditions. The complementary development of a four-colour spraying device carried by a robotic arm further advanced this technology toward real-world implementation. More recently, Carbonari has expanded his research horizons into the theoretical underpinnings of intelligent systems, exploring holonic architectures within cyber-physical system-of-systems frameworks. His 2018 paper on holonic overlays introduced a novel perspective on self-similarities and emergent behaviours in complex information systems, garnering 14 citations. Across his career, Carbonari's research consistently bridges practical engineering challenges with forward-looking computational frameworks, making him a notable voice in construction automation and intelligent infrastructure research.
