About
Raffaele Di Gregorio is a leading authority in the field of robotics, with a primary focus on the analysis, design, and control of parallel manipulators and redundant robotic systems. His major contributions lie in advancing the understanding of lower-mobility parallel robots, particularly those of the 3-UPU and 3-URU type, as well as the iconic Delta robot family, where he has provided foundational work on singularity determination and workspace analysis. Di Gregorio has also pioneered research into reconfigurable parallel manipulators with lockable joints, introducing novel architectures that enhance flexibility and adaptability. His work on the TetraFLEX family of self-aligning 3T1R manipulators and Schoenflies-motion generators demonstrates a sustained commitment to creating practical, high-performance robotic systems for pick-and-place and precision pointing applications. With over 180 citations across his most influential papers—including his seminal 2010 work on motion planning for reconfigurable manipulators (51 citations) and his comprehensive 2020 review of 3-UPU/3-URU architectures (26 citations)—his research has had a lasting impact on the field. Di Gregorio is also recognized for his innovative approaches to collision avoidance and inverse kinematics in redundant robots, making him a key figure in both theoretical and applied robotics.
