About
Emidio Tiberi’s research lies at the intersection of robotics, haptics, and human manipulation, with a focus on understanding and replicating complex manual tasks. His most notable contribution is the creation of a multivariate dataset capturing 2866 food flipping movements performed by chefs and home cooks using spatulas and tweezers, tracking utensil kinematics and dynamics via optoelectronic motion capture. This work, cited 7 times, provides a foundational resource for roboticists aiming to automate dexterous cooking tasks. Tiberi also pioneered the measurement of forces and torques during kitchen interactions, overcoming sensor challenges posed by heat, humidity, and grease—a critical step for developing robust robotic grippers. His open-source “Bogus Finger” tool simulates quasi-static finger pressing on stationary and vibrating surfaces, enabling realistic haptic device characterization under active touch conditions. Though his citation counts are modest, Tiberi’s work is highly specialized and practical, directly addressing gaps in robotic manipulation of deformable objects. His datasets and open-source hardware empower other researchers to advance robotic cooking and haptic feedback systems, marking him as a key contributor to applied robotics in everyday environments.
