About
Mattia Frascio is a researcher at the intersection of robotics, additive manufacturing, and smart materials, with a core focus on developing novel grippers and tactile sensors for industrial automation. His major contributions include the design of a miniaturized, additively manufactured gripper specifically optimized for handling soft, flexible textiles—a notoriously difficult task in garment automation—as well as a universal three-finger gripper with self-adaptable fingers for robust grasping in assembly and intralogistics. Frascio has also advanced sensor technology, pioneering the fabrication of resistive sensors via additive manufacturing and developing a mathematical model for vertically stacked capacitive tactile sensors that enhance dynamic range and sensitivity. His work on low-pressure plasma surface modification to improve bonded joints in 3D-printed ABS components demonstrates his commitment to integrating manufacturing processes with robotic functionality. With his 2019 gripper paper garnering 12 citations and several subsequent works gaining traction, Frascio’s research is shaping the next generation of adaptive, sensor-rich robotic end-effectors, making him a key figure in the push toward more versatile and manufacturable automation solutions.
