+ I would like to acknowledge and give my warmest thanks to my supervisior \textbf{Professor Alessandro Ricci} for guiding and supporting me through the stages of writing this project.\newline
+
+ \noindent The completion of this work would not be possible without my girlfriend, \textbf{Elisa Tronetti}; thanks for your continuous support during this time, your love is what kept me going.\newline
+
+ \noindent A special thanks also goes to:
+ \begin{itemize}
+    \item \textbf{Luca Rossi}, \textbf{Angelo Filaseta}, \textbf{Tommaso Bailetti} and, once again, Elisa Tronetti, for helping me to perform the prototype's real-world experiments
+    \item \textbf{Elisa Mencucci}, for helping me to keep my English grammar in check while writing this thesis
+    \item \textbf{Professor Gylfi Þór Guðmundsson}, for igniting this project idea in me through his teachings in his excellent course in Reykjavík University
+ \end{itemize}
+
+ \noindent Last but not least, I would like to thank my family and my friends for the support during this long, difficult, but rewarding journey.\newline
+
+ \noindent I'm really grateful for all of you from the bottom of my heart, thanks for making me the person I am today.
