About

Giovanni Paragliola is a leading researcher at the intersection of robotics, sustainable manufacturing, and human-machine interaction. His primary research areas encompass robotic disassembly, haptic teleoperation, extended reality (XR), and circular economy automation. Paragliola’s most significant contribution is the development of the Interfacing Toolbox for Robotic Arms (ITRA), a framework that, when combined with hybrid Visual Servoing (VS) methods, enables the automated disassembly of electric vehicle (EV) batteries. This work is critical for advancing sustainability by facilitating the safe, efficient recovery of valuable materials, directly supporting a circular economy. His most cited paper, “Electric Vehicle Battery Disassembly Using Interfacing Toolbox for Robotic Arms” (2024, 12 citations), establishes a foundational approach for this challenge. More recently, Paragliola has pioneered a comprehensive teleoperation framework that integrates haptic feedback, XR visualization, and Task-Parameterised Gaussian Mixture Regression (TP-GMR) for adaptive, real-time trajectory generation in EV battery cell handling. This work, detailed in his 2025 publication, pushes the boundaries of remote, precise manipulation in hazardous environments. Through these innovations, Paragliola is shaping the future of sustainable robotics, demonstrating how intelligent automation can address critical environmental and industrial challenges.
