About

Davide Torielli is a robotics researcher whose work spans teleoperation, human-robot interaction, and robotic end-effector control. His research addresses some of the most pressing challenges in deploying robots in real-world environments, particularly the complexity of controlling kinematically redundant systems from a distance and integrating diverse robotic hardware through unified software frameworks. Torielli is perhaps best recognized for his pioneering "marionette-style" teleoperation paradigm, introduced in his most-cited work (13 citations), which enables intuitive remote control of complex robotic manipulators by abstracting kinematic differences between operator and robot. This concept was further enriched through wearable haptics and manipulability-aware motion generation for mobile manipulators, demonstrating a sustained research thread in making teleoperation accessible and efficient. Equally significant is his contribution to hardware-agnostic robotics software, most notably the ROS End-Effector framework (9 citations), which simplifies the notoriously burdensome integration of robotic grippers into industrial systems. His work on multimodal interfaces for high-payload collaborative robots and assistive technologies for people with upper limb impairments further reflects a commitment to broadening robotics' societal impact. With over 55 cumulative citations across peer-reviewed publications, Torielli represents an emerging voice in making advanced robotics more adaptable, intuitive, and inclusive.
