About
Davide Calandra is a researcher at the forefront of Industry 4.0, specializing in the convergence of collaborative robotics, digital twins, and extended reality (XR). His work addresses a critical challenge: how to program and interact with collaborative robots (CRs) through immersive, next-generation interfaces. Calandra’s most impactful contribution is his pioneering exploration of digital twin- and XR-based telepresence for collaborative robot programming, a concept he advanced in the context of 6G mobile networks—a paper that has garnered 32 citations and laid the groundwork for remote, real-time robot control. He has also developed innovative robotic gaming platforms, such as RobotQuest and Protoman Revenge, which investigate how autonomous behaviors and emotional features in drones and robots affect user interaction and engagement. These studies, each with 7 citations, demonstrate his interest in human-robot interaction beyond industrial settings. More recently, Calandra has evaluated augmented reality-based remote assistance for heterogeneous robotic applications, contributing to safer and more intuitive human-robot collaboration. His work, consistently published in leading venues, is shaping the future of telepresence and training in smart manufacturing, making him a key voice in the transition toward fully connected, human-centric robotic systems.
