About
Andrea Antonello is a researcher whose work spans space robotics, orbital mechanics, and aerial systems, with a particular focus on the intersection of autonomous systems and complex dynamic environments. His most significant contribution lies in advancing the understanding of spacecraft manipulator dynamics, notably through his 2018 work on controlling robotic arms equipped with thrusters and momentum exchange devices — a critical challenge for the growing field of on-orbit satellite servicing, which has garnered 25 citations. Complementing this, Antonello contributed to the ALCIDES lunar mission concept study, exploring enabling technologies for deep-space exploration and human-robot interaction, accumulating 18 citations and demonstrating his breadth across mission design. His earlier work on laboratory simulation frameworks for rendezvous and docking maneuvers using anthropomorphic robotic arms helped establish practical ground-testing methodologies for orbital robotics. He has also explored soft robotics through dielectric elastomer actuators and extended his expertise into aerial robotics via dual quaternion-based control strategies for UAVs. Across these domains, Antonello's research consistently addresses the challenge of reliable autonomous operation in demanding and unconventional environments, making his work valuable to engineers and researchers designing the next generation of space and aerial robotic systems.
