About

Stefano Vitturi is a researcher specializing in wireless networked control systems and industrial embedded systems, with a particular focus on bridging the gap between high-performance control requirements and the inherent constraints of wireless communication technologies. His work addresses one of the most challenging frontiers in industrial automation: enabling reliable, low-latency control over wireless channels at demanding rates previously thought impractical for such environments. Vitturi's most notable contribution, "Drive-by-Wi-Fi: Model-Based Control Over Wireless at 1 kHz" (2021, 10 citations), represents a significant breakthrough in demonstrating that unstable systems can be remotely controlled via Wi-Fi at control rates reaching 1 kHz — a milestone that opens new possibilities for advanced manufacturing and cooperative robotics. Complementing this, his 2019 work on embedded systems for time-critical Wi-Fi applications (3 citations) laid essential groundwork by rigorously assessing the suitability of IEEE 802.11-based networked systems for demanding industrial scenarios. Through experimental validation and model-based approaches, Vitturi has helped redefine what is achievable with wireless industrial control, making his research highly relevant to engineers and scientists working at the intersection of control theory, embedded systems design, and industrial wireless communications.
