About

A. Eusebi is a robotics researcher whose work spans dexterous manipulation and autonomous agricultural robotics, demonstrating a career-long commitment to advancing robotic systems from the lab to the field. His early, foundational contribution is the control system for the UB Hand II, a highly articulated three-fingered hand mounted on a PUMA 560 arm. This work, cited 20 times, tackled the complex sensory and actuation challenges required for high-dexterity robotic grasping, establishing a benchmark for anthropomorphic hand control. More recently, Eusebi has pivoted to field robotics, making significant strides in precision agriculture. He developed a Robot Operating System (ROS) service for generating smooth polynomial trajectories for Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs), enabling reliable open-field navigation. His most impactful recent contribution is a robust algorithm for autonomous row-change maneuvers in orchards. By using LiDAR point-cloud data for line detection, his system allows tracked robots to navigate complex, variable environments—including different tree shapes and row distances—without human intervention. This work, with over 15 combined recent citations, is vital for the future of automated farming, showcasing Eusebi’s ability to solve practical, real-world navigation challenges in unstructured agricultural settings.
