Cesare Fantuzzi

Prof. Cesare Fantuzzi is a Full Professor at the Department of Engineering Sciences and Methods, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia. His expertise lies in robotics, automatic control, and human-robot interaction, with a focus on Industry 4.0/5.0 applications. He teaches courses in Industrial Robotics, Automatic Control, and Industrial System Control, emphasizing practical implementation in real environments.

His research spans collaborative robotics, fault diagnosis systems, adaptive interfaces, and digital twin technology. Notable projects include IOT-enabled diagnostics for welding cobots, high-velocity robotic programming architectures, and smart AGV traffic management. Publications cover control barrier functions, passivity-based interaction methods, and universal design for industrial HMIs, often in collaboration with European research teams.

Recent work explores self-configuring BLE networks, adaptive training systems, and natural gesture-based robot control. He employs Microsoft Teams for teaching materials and open-source IoT platforms in research implementations.
