Dr. Davide Scaramuzza Hi and welcome to my homepage! Current positions:
(Download the new Matlab Toolbox) My research field is omnidirectional vision with application to
Robotics, in particular:

17 September 2009 2nd place at the European Micro Aerial
Vehicle competition with the first purely vision based autonomous helicopter! The European
MAV competition, takes place annually in Delft
(Netherlands). The competition consisted in having a small
helicopter entering and exiting from small apartment in a fully autonomous
manner. My team, named ETH-Maverick, was the only autonomous
team over the 8 participating teams. Furthermore, it was the only team using
only a single camera to control the helicopter, whereas all the other teams
used remote control. The autonomy of the helicopter and the use of solely
vision impressed the jury and gave us team the 2nd place. We missed the 1sr
place because the size of the helicopter was a penalizing factor according to
the rule used in the competition. Check the ETH-MAVERICK webpage
09 September 2009 Davide Scaramuzza wins the Robotdalen Scientific
Award Advanced algorithms give him € 20,000 in prize
money! Robotdalen is the worldwide most prestigious scientific award
for PhD theses in the field of Robotics and Automation. It is an annual award
that goes to a young scientist in the field of robotics. The award is
supported by the European Union, Vinnova, ABB, Volvo, Atlas, Copco, ESAB, and
many other companies. On September 9, Davide Scaramuzza was announced the
winner of the Robotdalen Scientific Award 2009 and received the prize sum of
€ 20,000 for his competition contribution: his doctoral thesis on "Omnidirectional Vision, from Calibration to Robot Motion
Estimation". The prize ceremony took place on the
annual conference Robotdalen Day in Vasteras, Sweden on September 9th at the
presence of the County Governor and many industrial partners. LINKS
