Andrea D’Antona is a Ph.D. student in Engineering at the University of Ferrara, working within the Medical Robotics and Automation research group. His research focuses on robust state estimation and sensor fusion for mobile and collaborative robotic systems, with particular attention to learning-enhanced filtering techniques for operation under degraded and uncertain sensing conditions.

Before starting his Ph.D., he worked as a research fellow at the University of Ferrara, where he developed estimation algorithms for GNSS/IMU-based localization and performed real-time experimental validation on robotic platforms. He has also been involved in several international research projects in medical and industrial robotics, including autonomous ultrasound systems and safety-oriented human–robot interaction testbeds. He obtained his M.Sc. in Electronic Engineering from the University of Ferrara.
