About
Gianluca Rossi is a leading researcher in experimental mechanics, haptics, and structural health monitoring, with a focus on the intersection of human tactile perception and robotic inspection. His work on understanding the mechanical behavior of the human fingertip in contact with surfaces—such as in his 2016 study on fingertip-silica window interactions (9 citations)—has advanced the field of haptics and humanoid robotics, providing foundational insights for designing more realistic tactile sensors. Rossi has also made significant contributions to non-destructive testing and structural integrity assessment. His 2021 paper on thermoelasticity and ArUco marker-based model validation for the San Giorgio’s bridge inspection robot (6 citations) demonstrates a novel multi-instrumental, multi-spectral approach to validate numerical models of polymer structures, combining thermal and optical methods for precise dynamic and stress analysis. This work has practical implications for infrastructure monitoring and robotics. With a growing citation impact, Rossi’s research bridges fundamental biomechanics and applied engineering, offering valuable tools for both robotic perception and civil engineering inspection. His innovative methodologies continue to influence the design of more accurate and resilient robotic systems.
