Ciao!
I'm Pietro

I am a PhD student at the Robot Learning Lab of Imperial College London, working under the supervision of Dr. Edward Johns. My mission is to build intelligent robots that can efficiently learn how to manipulate and interact with objects. I thoroughly enjoy the intersection of robotics and computer vision and I am always striving to learn more.

These are really incredible times for artificial intelligence. Foundation models in vision and language are getting better by the day and allow software to interact with the world like never before. Image and video generative models are also increasingly proficient, leading to world models that could potentially allow for the creation of immense simulated datasets. This being said, how to best use these technologies to build physical agents is not straightforward and that's exactly what makes robotics so exciting!
