+I am a Senior Researcher at Dalle Molle Institute for Artificial Intelligence (IDSIA, USI-SUPSI) in Lugano (Switzerland), working on Robotics, Machine Learning applications, Human-Robot interaction, Biomedical Image Processing, Data Visualization.
 On this site you can find my ongoing and past [[wiki:research|projects]], [[wiki:software|software]] I created, [[wiki:publications|publications]], and [[wiki:teaching|teaching-related]] materials.
 Notable news & awards (reverse chronological order):
+  * **May, 2020**: Our highly-cited [[https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8293995|paper]] “Machine-Learning Method for Quality of Transmission Prediction of Unestablished Lightpaths” (with [[https://www.telematica.polito.it/member/cristina-rottondi/|Cristina Rottondi]] and colleagues) published on the IEEE/OSA Journal of Optical Communications and Networking won the prestigious “[[https://www.comsoc.org/about/awards/paper-awards/ieee-communications-society-charles-kao-award-best-optical-communications|IEEE Communications Society Charles Kao Award]]”.
+  * **Mar, 2019**: Research on [[http://people.idsia.ch/~gromov/pointing-gestures/|pointing gestures for proximity interaction]] by our PhD student [[http://people.idsia.ch/~gromov|Boris Gromov]] got the best demonstration award and an honorable mention for the best video award at [[https://humanrobotinteraction.org/2019/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/HRI-2019-Best-Award-list-1.pdf|HRI 2019]]
+  * **Jul, 2018**: Recent results & videos on using pointing gestures for [[http://people.idsia.ch/~gromov/hri-landing/|landing drones]] and [[http://people.idsia.ch/~gromov/motion-relloc/|localizing mobile robots]] (patent pending), from PhD student Boris Gromov.  The latter work was accepted at IROS 2018 in the paper “Robot Identification and Localization with Pointing Gestures”.
+  * **Jan, 2018**: Have a look at the [[https://arxiv.org/abs/1709.05368|preprint]] of our recent article on "Learning Ground Traversability from Simulations”, to appear on IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters.
   * **Apr, 2016**: Our work on the [[http://www.leet.it/home/giusti/website/doku.php?id=wiki:forest|visual perception of forest trails]] was showcased to a huge audience in the [[http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/85315086|GTC 2016 Opening Keynote speech by NVIDIA]], time 1:27 and 1:35.
   * **Feb, 2016**: Additional material (including videos) for our work on the visual perception of forest trails is available [[http://www.leet.it/home/giusti/website/doku.php?id=wiki:forest|here]].  Press coverage by [[http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/feb/10/researchers-develop-missing-person-rescue-drone-na/|The Washington Times]], [[http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2016-02/11/drone-follow-forest|Wired]], [[http://www.nbcnews.com/tech/innovation/trail-following-drones-could-locate-guide-lost-hikers-n516056|NBC]], [[http://www.popularmechanics.com/flight/drones/a19385/new-software-turns-drones-into-bloodhounds-chase-you-through-woods/|Popular Mechanics]], [[http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3440694/Drones-taught-search-missing-people-AI-software-works-quadcopters-explore-forests-woods.html|Daily Mail]].  A few insightful and flattering comments also in [[http://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/robotics/artificial-intelligence/aaai-video-highlights-drones-navigating-forests-and-robot-boat-swarms|this nice piece @ IEEE Spectrum]].
