Gaetano Lettera

Gaetano Lettera is a Research Fellow and PhD candidate at the University of Campania 'Luigi Vanvitelli', Department of Industrial and Information Engineering. He previously held a Master's Degree in Industrial and Information Engineering (2017) from the same institution. His primary roles include research in collaborative robotics, mechatronics, and system integration, supported by project engineering experience in aerospace systems. Key affiliations include the RoboticsLab and collaboration with a system integrator company as Project Engineer (PE) for European aerospace projects.

Education:

• PhD Candidate, University of Campania (2020–present)
• Master's Degree in Industrial and Information Engineering, University of Campania (2017)

Research Interests: Focuses on collaborative robotics safety, 6D object recognition, trajectory planning, additive manufacturing integration, and industrial automation. Specializes in multimodal human detection, real-time sensor fusion, and robotic solutions for aeronautical assembly (e.g., Clean Sky 2 program).

Technical Contributions: Developed algorithms for human-robot safety in SSM scenarios, optimized robotic cells for aeronautical drilling/assembly (TRL7), and contributed to 3D printing techniques for aerospace components. Managed projects integrating multi-robot cells and additive manufacturing systems.

Teaching: Supports machine mechanics courses at the university level.

Labs & Projects: RoboticsLab (University of Campania); key contributor to LABOR project for composite fuselage assembly automation.
