Ugo Pattacini was born in Foggia in 1977. He graduated in Electronic Engineering (cum laude) at University of Pisa in 2001, with a thesis on the design and realization of an optic-fiber micromachined accelerometer with integrated light sensor. In the period between 2001 and 2003 he worked at Racing Department of Magneti Marelli in Milan as SW developer for Formula 1 applications, dealing with the design and the implementation of integrated telemetry drivers and proprietary hard-constrained real-time operating systems for electronic control units of Toyota, Renault and Ferrari F1 cars. In 2004 he joined Toyota F1 team in Cologne, playing active role in the embedded software development of TF104, TF105 and TF106 car projects, focusing his activities on the vehicle dynamics and torque-based traction control strategies. In 2006 he moved to the Earth Observation Business Unit of Thales Alenia Space in Rome where he was concerned with the specifications design and trade-off analyses of the satellite data acquisition system for COSMO-SkyMed (ASI) and GMES (ESA) scientific programs.
From 2008 to 2010 he carried out PhD studies at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT) on the synthesis and implementation of modular cartesian controllers for humanoid robots. Currently, he is with IIT involved in the development of the iCub platform, in particular concerning the advancements of the robot motor capabilities.

RobotCub: ROBotic Open-architecture Technology for Cognition, Understanding and Behavior (EC-FP6). The main goal is to study cognition through the implementation of a humanoid robot with the size of a 3.5 year old child: the iCub. The project is meant to be open in many different ways: the platform is distributed openly, so as the software, and the project is open to including partners forming collaboration worldwide.
CHRIS: Cooperative Human Robot Interaction Systems (EC-FP7). The CHRIS project addresses the fundamental issues which would enable safe Human Robot Interaction (HRI).
EFAA: Experimental Functional Android Assistant (EC-FP7). The EFAA project will contribute to the development of socially intelligent humanoids by advancing the state of the art in both single human-like social capabilities and in their integration in a consistent architecture.
WYSIWYD: What You Say Is What You Did (EC-FP7). The WYSIWYD project will create a new transparency in human robot interaction (HRI) by allowing robots to both understand their own actions and those of humans, and to interpret and communicate these in human compatible intentional terms expressed as a language-like communication channel we call WYSIWYD Robotese (WR).
