About

Paolo Bosetti is a leading researcher in intelligent transportation systems, autonomous driving, and human-robot interaction. His most influential contribution is the pioneering concept of artificial “co-drivers,” introduced in his highly cited 2014 position paper (70 citations). This framework reimagines autonomous vehicles not as replacements for human drivers but as collaborative partners, integrating principles from human-robot interaction to enhance safety and trust. Bosetti’s work bridges critical gaps between automation and human control, particularly in complex driving scenarios. He has also made significant contributions to control systems engineering, demonstrated by his development of a low-cost, two-wheeled self-balancing inverted pendulum vehicle—a platform widely used in educational robotics and control theory. Additionally, his 2008 paper on autonomous driving modules for critical conditions showcases his expertise in hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and software-in-the-loop (SIL) testing, advancing the reliability of autonomous systems under extreme scenarios. Through his research at the University of Trento’s mechatronics laboratory, Bosetti has established himself as a key figure in shaping safer, more intuitive human-autonomy interactions for future transportation.
