About

Dr. G. Hasapis is a pioneering researcher in the field of robotic handling of non-rigid materials, with a focused career dedicated to solving the complex challenges of automating textile manipulation. His key research areas encompass robotic perception, force/torque sensing, and the development of specialized grippers for flexible substrates. Dr. Hasapis’s major contributions are documented in a series of highly influential papers, including his most-cited work, "A robotic system for handling textile and non rigid flat materials" (1995, 36 citations). This foundational study, along with his subsequent 1997 (30 citations) and 2002 (23 citations) publications, systematically demonstrated how integrating vision and force/torque sensing can enable standard robotic arms to accurately and reliably perform tasks like picking, placing, and folding limp fabrics. His experimental approach provided critical benchmarks for the accuracy and reliability of such systems, establishing core requirements for the field. With a combined citation count exceeding 89 for his seminal works, Dr. Hasapis’s research remains essential reading for engineers and roboticists developing automation solutions for the textile, apparel, and composite manufacturing industries.
