About
Eugenio Cuniato is a leading researcher in aerial robotics, specializing in aerial manipulation, physical human-robot interaction, and the design of novel aerial platforms. His work focuses on enabling robots to interact safely and precisely with their environment and with humans, even under challenging conditions. Cuniato’s major contributions include developing control strategies that allow aerial manipulators to distinguish between intentional interaction forces and external disturbances, dramatically improving accuracy and robustness. He also designed **Geranos**, a novel tilted-rotors aerial robot for transporting poles in difficult terrains, and a lightweight micro overactuated aerial vehicle with an origami delta manipulator—the most lightweight 8-DOF aerial manipulator at just 2.0 kg. His research on hardware-in-the-loop simulators for human-aerial manipulator cooperation provides realistic haptic feedback, advancing teleoperation and training. With over 50 citations across his most-cited works, Cuniato’s contributions are shaping the future of interactive aerial robots for construction, inspection, and non-destructive testing. His work on passive aligning physical interaction and multi-modal human-robot interfaces further underscores his commitment to making aerial robots more capable, intuitive, and safe for real-world deployment.
