Massimo Caccia (M'96) was born in 1966. He received the Laurea degree in electronic engineering from Genoa University, Italy, in 1991.

That same year, he received a Post-Graduate Research Grant from Ansaldo, a leading Italian industrial engineering company, to study sonar-based motion planning and control in wheeled land vehicles. In 1993, he collaborated with the Telerobot Consortium, focusing on real-time control architectures and afterward joined the Istituto Automazione Navale (IAN) in Genoa, as a Research Scientist. His research at IAN has encompassed numerous subjects, notably software architectures for intelligent underwater vehicles, sensor-based navigation, guidance, and control, modeling, identification, and simulation of unmanned underwater vehicles, and in-water testing. He participated in the XIII Italian Expedition to Antarctica in 1997-1998 working on under-ice performance evaluation of acoustic devices for underwater vehicles.
