Antonio Frisoli
Curriculum vitae
ultrasound probe during monitoring of the brachial artery for cardiovascular risk
assessment.
Contract with PEC Italia S.r.l (2004-2005)
Antonio Frisoli was technical manager of the project in conjunction with PEC Ltd and
Agusta that led to the development of a robotic cell with two anthropomorphic robots
operating on a testbed, for simulating the handling of the door of an helicoper. The
dtestbed has been subjected to a fatigue cycle of 10,000 iterations, consisting in the
simulation of opening and closing of the door of aircraft. Two robots COMAU NH-1
equipped with a gripper and a force sensor innovative parallel kinematic were used for
experimentation.
Research period abroad
In 1998 he won a selection opened by the National Institute of Nuclear Physics in Pisa for
qualified researchers to conduct a period of specialist training, of 2 months training, at the
Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia (Chicago), IL-USA, a Federal research
in the U.S. high energy physics, research in the area of high energy physics - elementary
particles. During this period he dealt with the design, testing and analysis of the
mechanics of superconducting magnets with high field strengths, including LHC
quadrupoles and / or new designs, designing equipment for the construction of
superconducting magnets in an inert atmosphere.
