About
Dr. Simone Nardi is a leading researcher at the intersection of robotics, cybersecurity, and game theory, whose work advances autonomous systems from the factory floor to the open ocean. His key contributions span multi-robot coordination for adversarial scenarios, autonomous exploration, and the critical security of robotic operating systems. Nardi pioneered game-theoretic coordination protocols for teams of robots, enabling them to herd intruders or protect asymmetric threats in communication-limited environments like underwater domains. His 2018 paper on cooperative frontier-based exploration for large-area 3D mapping (20 citations) established a foundational approach for autonomous robotic surveying. In a groundbreaking 2024 work (18 citations), Nardi introduced ROSPaCe, a novel intrusion detection dataset specifically for ROS2-based cyber-physical systems and IoT networks, addressing a critical gap in machine learning-based security research. His work on multi-object handling for robotic manufacturing (5 citations) demonstrates a commitment to practical industrial automation. With a portfolio spanning indoor localization, antagonistic-task coordination, and open-source frameworks like NoStop, Nardi’s research is essential for developing resilient, secure, and cooperative multi-robot systems in both terrestrial and marine environments.
