Riccardo Felicetti

Riccardo Felicetti is a Research Fellow at the Department of Information Engineering, Università Politecnica delle Marche, within the Faculty of Engineering. He holds a Master's Degree (cum laude) in Computer and Automation Engineering (2016) and a Ph.D. (cum laude) in Information Engineering (2021) from the same university, with a thesis on “Active fault tolerant control for overactuated unmanned vehicles.” He also serves as Senior Tutor, coordinating tutor activities in the Faculty of Engineering.

His research focuses on fault detection and diagnosis, fault-tolerant control, and optimization, with applications to unmanned vehicles (e.g., drones, ROVs) and energy management systems. He has contributed to advancements in systems like actuator fault tolerance, vibration-based fault detection, and energy optimization in smart grids.

Key technical areas include disturbance observer-based control, adaptive Kalman filtering, and machine learning integration for system identification. His work bridges theoretical control frameworks with practical implementations in aerospace and marine robotics.
