About
Chiara Lanni is a mechanical and robotics engineer whose research spans robot kinematics, cam mechanism design, and mechatronic systems, with much of her work developed at the Laboratory of Robotics and Mechatronics (LARM) in Cassino, Italy. Her most influential contribution — a 2003 study on multi-objective optimum design of general 3R manipulators for prescribed workspace limits — has garnered over 100 citations, establishing her as a recognized voice in manipulator optimization and workspace analysis. Alongside this, Lanni has pursued a sustained research line in circular-arc cam mechanics, producing a series of algebraic formulations, profile identification methods, and experimental validations that together offer practical, low-cost solutions for transmission design and micromachine applications. Her work consistently bridges theoretical modeling with hands-on experimental validation, a hallmark of her methodology across cam profiling, tendon-driven robotic arms, and mobile robotics. More recently, her research has expanded into collaborative robotics, including a parametric kinematic model for the UR5e cobot and mechatronic designs for industrial and agricultural robotic applications. Lanni's career reflects a commitment to rigorous, application-driven engineering research with broad relevance to both academic study and real-world automation challenges.
