Alessio De Luca is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Humanoids and Human Centered Mechatronics (HHCM), Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT). He received his Bachelor's Degree in Computer Engineering from the University of Genova in 2018 and his Master's Degree in Robotics Engineering in 2020, both with honours. In February 2025 he defended his PhD Thesis titled: "Autonomous Loco-Manipulation for Hybrid Wheeled-Legged Robots in Cluttered and Unknown Environments".
His research mainly focuses on autonomous loco-manipulation in cluttered environments with complex DoFs robots like CENTAURO for inspection and maintenance tasks.
