About
Roberto Lampariello is a leading robotics researcher whose work sits at the intersection of space robotics, motion planning, and autonomous manipulation. Based primarily at the German Aerospace Center (DLR), he has made foundational contributions to the field of on-orbit servicing and free-floating space robotics — technologies critical for satellite servicing, debris removal, and the construction of orbital infrastructure. Lampariello's research addresses some of the most technically demanding challenges in space robotics: planning and executing real-time trajectories for catching tumbling objects, developing impedance control strategies for grasping non-cooperative targets under model uncertainty, and designing ground simulation facilities to validate these capabilities before flight. His 2021 survey on robotic manipulation and capture in space (199 citations) has become an essential reference for the field, while his trajectory planning work (117 citations) demonstrated elegant solutions to real-time dynamic motion generation. Beyond space applications, his contributions to robot dynamic parameter identification using optimized B-splines (58 citations) have broad relevance across industrial robotics. With a body of work spanning over two decades, Lampariello has consistently bridged theoretical rigor and practical implementation, making him an influential figure for researchers and engineers working on next-generation autonomous robotic systems in challenging environments.
