Roberto FerraresiIndustrial Automation Engineer 2018

I did my thesis work with the Vis4Mechs team and I have to say that it was a rewarding year. The difficulties and challenges I have encountered throughout this journey have been useful both in preparing myself emotionally for the work environment and for my working career. Thanks to my thesis project I now have a much more open and flexible mentality, and I have acquired various skills related to programming. This experience has also made me a more observant person: I’m now able to analyze problems and rapidly find solutions. I also learnt how to manage my time and stress at work. I recommend this experience to everyone who want to be challenged with new projects in a dynamic environment and want to mature a lot both professionally and as a person!

Rossano RivadossiIndustrial Automation Engineer 2018

For me, this has been a unique experience that has enriched me both professionally and as a person. It allowed me to discover and touch with my own hands a fascinating subject, providing me with an additional “tool” to approach any engineering problem, opening up new working opportunities. In Vis4Mechs I met some fantastic people who showed me what it means to be part of a “research and development Laboratory”: I attended the laboratory daily and did experimental tests, I attended lectures and meetings, I visited companies, I shared and compared ideas and solutions in order to achieve my thesis goal, working with the entire group. I am very happy and satisfied to have carried out my thesis project in Vis4Mechs: thank you all!

Giordano CalciolariIndustrial Automation Engineer 2018

For me the experience in Vis4Mechs was not only an opportunity to do my thesis project, but also an experience that made me work with an exceptional research group. The group’s activities are innovative and a thesis experience with them provides a solid training in order to start a working career in a dynamic and constantly evolving field such as Vision. In addition, the wonderful company of the group members is something to not be underestimated, because a good company ensures quality work! Finally, the methodology with which Professor Sansoni organizes the activities allowed me to get to my first post-graduate job not only with a good technical preparation in the field, but also with a serious and professional working mentality. It was, without any doubt, one of the best choices of my life. Thank you!

Claudio MorElectronical Engineer 2019

The Vis4Mechs group always offers cutting-edge and innovative research areas in vision systems. The theme of my thesis has been highly stimulating in all its phases and, thanks to the Vis4Mechs team, has allowed me to work in the company where I now started my career, focusing on the same topics. This experience has allowed me to acquire an approach completely different from the standard academic path, testing me in several situations and, following the extremely valuable advice of Professor Sansoni and of the team researchers, I was able to produce a very interesting and complete thesis work in collaboration with Tattile.
