Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT) Via S. Quirico, 19d, 16163,
Genova, Italy
In October 2020, Federico completed his three-year bachelor’s degree program in Mechanical Engineering, followed by obtaining his master’s degree in March 2022, both achieved at the University of Genoa. The research for his thesis was carried out at the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT) in Genoa, where he developed an innovative wrist exoskeleton. Cutting-edge technologies, including generative optimization, were employed during this process.
Federico is currently pursuing a PhD in Bioengineering at the Biomedical Robotics Laboratory of Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT), and the Electronic Information and Bioengineering Department of Politecnico di Milano. His research interest is focused on the design and development of a novel pediatric neurosurgery robot.
Design and development of a novel pediatric neurosurgery robot
Federico is involved the development of a robot tasked with assisting and aiding surgeons during neuroendoscopy procedures. Specifically, the goal is to create a system that enables the manipulation, orientation, and insertion of an endoscope into the brain of an infant, achieving higher levels of precision and accuracy compared to traditional surgery. Federico’s work begins with the fabrication of the structure and mechanisms facilitating the manipulation of the endoscope.
At the same time, the implementation of potential control mechanisms is outlined, with the goal of enabling precise and linear movements to ensure maximum accuracy during procedures.
