About

Andrea Gotelli is a leading researcher in the simulation and modeling of complex robotic systems, with a primary focus on continuum robots and multibody dynamics. Her most impactful contribution is a novel algorithm for the implicit time-integration of robots combining rigid bodies and Cosserat rods, published in 2023. This work, which has already garnered 21 citations, introduces a Newton–Euler recursive approach that efficiently solves forward dynamics for systems with arbitrary topologies—including soft, actuated links—enabling more accurate and stable simulations of hybrid rigid-soft robots. Gotelli’s research addresses critical challenges in computational robotics, particularly for continuum parallel robots, as demonstrated in her 2022 work on a Gazebo simulator for such systems. Her achievements advance the state of the art in robot simulation, offering tools that are essential for design, control, and real-time applications in soft robotics and beyond. With a growing citation record, Gotelli is establishing herself as a key figure in bridging theoretical mechanics and practical robotics simulation.
