Fabrizio Padula was born in Brescia (Italy) in 1984. He received the MSc (Laurea Specialistica) degree in Industrial Automation Engineering cum laude from the University of Brescia discussing a thesis entitled “Real time path planning strategies for manipulator robots”, developed in collaboration with the HANDLE European project at the Laboratoire d’Electronique et Electromagnetisme of the Université Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris. During 2011 he spent a period at Departament de Telecomunicació i Enginyeria de Sistemes, of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Bellaterra (Spain), working on robust control techniques for fractional systems. He received the Ph.D. degree in Computer Science and Control Engineering with the Doctor Europaeus mention in 2013, discussing a thesis entitled “Design methodologies for fractional control systems”. He is currently research fellow in the Control Systems research group of the University of Brescia. His research focuses on industrial control, fractional control, dynamic inversion based regulation, H-infinity control and robot motion planning.Antonio Visioli received the Laurea degree in electronic engineering from the University of Parma, Parma, Italy, and the Ph.D. degree in applied mechanics from the University of Brescia, Brescia, Italy, in 1995 and 1999 respectively. From 1997 to 2005 he has been assistant professor and from 2005 he is associate professor of Automatic Control at the University of Brescia, Italy. His research interests include industrial robot control and trajectory planning, input-output-inversion-based control and process control. In particular, industrial (PID) control and robust control have been always one of the main subjects of his research, as shown by a large number of publications in refereed journals and conference proceedings. Overall, he is the author or co-author of two monographs, one edited book, one international textbook and more than 170 papers in internationaljournals and refereed conference proceedings. He cooperates with different companies and universities. Dr. Visioli is senior member of IEEE, member of IFAC and member of the national board of Anipla (Italian Association for the Automation).
