Collaborations

Collaboration with:: Unimore Racing
Country:: Italy
Description:: Unimore Racing is an autonomous racing team that participates in prestigious international competitions such as the Indy Autonomous Challenge and the Abu Dhabi Autonomous Racing League. Through this collaboration, Francesco applies and refines the motion planning and control algorithms, testing them in real race conditions. This experience not only allows for the practical implementation of his research but also provides an important platform for innovation and technological development in the field of autonomous driving.

Collaboration with:: Hipert Srl
Country:: Italy
Description:: In collaboration with Hipert Srl in Modena, which began in September 2021, Francesco Prignoli has contributed to key projects focused on: - Implementation and on-field testing of control algorithms for autonomous driving. This work included practical verification of the developed systems, ensuring their effectiveness in real-world conditions. - Motion planning for autonomous driving near crosswalks, leveraging V2I (Vehicle-to-Infrastructure) communication for pedestrian detection.
