About
Giovanni Incerti’s research sits at the intersection of robotics, friction physics, and precision motion control, with a particular focus on industrial manipulators and parallel robots. His most significant contribution is the development of a second-order friction model for robotic joints that accounts for thermal effects—a breakthrough that addresses how temperature changes alter friction behavior and degrade positioning accuracy. This work, published in 2020, has garnered 22 citations and is complemented by subsequent studies on heat exchange’s influence on dynamic friction, demonstrating a sustained commitment to understanding and mitigating thermal disturbances in robotic systems. Incerti has also advanced trajectory planning, notably with a 2025 paper on S-curve motion planning based on curvature radius to reduce vibrations and mechanical wear in high-curvature paths. Earlier in his career, he improved positioning precision for SCARA robots with compliant transmissions (2007) and explored active suspension damping using tripod parallel robots (2002). His research is essential for engineers seeking to enhance the reliability, accuracy, and longevity of industrial robots in real-world, thermally variable environments.
