About
Mario Troise is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of soft robotics and aerospace engineering, whose work is redefining how robotic systems can be deployed in space. His primary research areas include collaborative human-robot assembly, inflatable robotic manipulators, and novel locomotion systems for planetary exploration. Troise’s most significant contribution is the development of POPUP, an inflatable robotic arm designed for space debris mitigation and onboard assistance. This lightweight, deployable system, detailed in his highly cited 2021 paper (47 citations), achieves remarkable volume and weight reduction while maintaining payload capacity—a critical breakthrough for space missions where every kilogram counts. His work on a practical layout for safe human-robot collaboration has also garnered substantial attention, demonstrating his commitment to real-world industrial applications. Troise’s innovative approach extends to spherical rovers driven by pendulum and control moment gyroscopes for planetary exploration, showcasing his versatility. With over 100 total citations across his publications, including multiple papers on inflatable robotics for active debris removal, Troise is establishing himself as a leading voice in making space robotics more efficient, safer, and more adaptable for future missions.
