About
Simonepietro Canese is a leading researcher in marine robotics, with a specialized focus on deep-sea specimen collection and underwater manipulation. His work addresses the critical challenge of adapting industrial robotic grippers—originally designed for heavy-duty tasks—to the delicate, precise handling of fragile deep-sea biological samples. Canese’s major contributions include a systematic review of underwater grippers (63 citations), which identifies the limitations of current tools and proposes pathways for dexterous, minimally invasive collection. He also developed a taxonomy of underwater manipulative actions (13 citations), providing a foundational framework that defines the requirements and procedural factors essential for improving scientific sampling. This taxonomy is a key step toward designing smarter control strategies and gripper systems that can revolutionize deep-sea biology. By bridging the gap between industrial robotics and marine science, Canese’s work has significant implications for biodiversity research, conservation, and the exploration of extreme environments. His research is highly cited and serves as a vital resource for engineers and biologists seeking to advance autonomous underwater sampling technologies.
