Veronica Bartolucci

Veronica Bartolucci is a Research Fellow at the Department of Information Engineering (DII) of the Polytechnic University of the Marche, currently affiliated with the LabMACS (Laboratory of Modeling, Analysis and Control of dynamical Systems) under Professor Scaradozzi. She holds a Master's Degree (cum laude) in Computer and Automation Engineering from the same university, with a thesis on BLDC motor test benches, followed by a Ph.D. in Information Engineering focusing on max-plus algebra modeling of robotic fish swarms. Previously, she worked at the University of Bologna on the MAXFISH project, addressing multi-agent control for robotic fish swarms.

Her research spans underwater robotics, multi-agent systems, biomimetic marine vehicles, and educational robotics. Key projects include DiveSafe and MAXFISH (PRIN 2022) for marine robotics, and RoboPisces/RoboAquaria for educational applications. She also contributed to low-cost hydrophone development for dolphin vocalization monitoring and digital twin infrastructures for underwater surveys.

Publications emphasize mathematical frameworks (max-plus algebra), control strategies, and hardware/software systems for robotics and energy applications. Despite no explicitly stated awards, her work demonstrates significant contributions to biomimetic robotics and educational technologies. She advises no listed students but collaborates actively in lab-based and project-driven research. Current focus includes advancing max-plus algebra methodologies for autonomous underwater systems and integrating robotics in STEM education.
