About
Maria Toti is a distinguished researcher in robotics and mechatronics, with a primary focus on robotic workspace analysis, grasping mechanisms, and experimental tracking systems. Her most notable contribution is the development of CATRASYS (Cassino Tracking System), a pioneering wire-based system designed at the Laboratory of Robotics and Mechatronics in Cassino for measuring large displacements and orientation variations of complex moving objects. This work, published in 2002 and cited 41 times, has provided a foundational tool for experimental evaluation of robot workspaces. Toti also made significant advances in grasp force control, proposing an innovative experimental system for two-finger grippers with pneumatic actuation, integrating commercial force sensors and a tailored control scheme to precisely manage grasping forces—a paper that has garnered 26 citations. Her earlier work on the experimental determination of robot workspace using CATRASYS further solidified her reputation. Toti’s research bridges theoretical modeling and practical experimentation, offering robust solutions for robotic manipulation and workspace characterization. Her achievements highlight a career dedicated to advancing sensorization and control in robotics, making her a key figure in the field.
