About

Paolo Bolognesi is an electrical engineering researcher whose work centers on advanced motor design and control systems, with a particular focus on innovative rotary-linear motor technologies. His research addresses the challenge of combining rotary and linear motion along a single axis — a capability with broad applications spanning industrial robotics, tooling machines, automation, and electric vehicle systems. Bolognesi's most significant contribution lies in the development and analysis of novel rotary-linear brushless machines. His 2010 paper introducing a low-complexity rotary-linear motor suitable for active wheel actuation in electric and hybrid vehicles has garnered 25 citations, reflecting meaningful interest from the automotive and robotics engineering communities. Complementing this, his FEM modeling study of a rotary-linear isotropic brushless machine further advanced the theoretical and computational foundations of these unconventional designs. His earlier 2004 work demonstrated viable control strategies for such machines, establishing a coherent research trajectory that bridges fundamental motor theory with practical implementation. Bolognesi's research is particularly valuable for engineers and students working on multi-degree-of-freedom actuation systems, offering more elegant and efficient alternatives to conventional motor combinations in next-generation vehicle and robotic applications.
