About
Chiara Gabellieri is a robotics researcher whose work spans aerial robotics, robotic manipulation, and multi-robot systems, with particular emphasis on cooperative aerial manipulation and robot grasping. She is perhaps best known for her foundational contributions to the theory of aerial co-manipulation, most notably her highly cited 2018 work on cable-suspended load manipulation with dual aerial robots (87 citations), which rigorously analyzed the role of internal forces in ensuring equilibrium, stability, and passivity without requiring explicit inter-robot communication. This line of research extends into swarm robotics, where she has explored force-based collaboration in flying swarms, and into robustness analysis under parametric uncertainty. In parallel, Gabellieri has made significant strides in robotic grasping, developing the "Grasp It Like a Pro" framework — a human-expertise-driven approach to grasping unknown objects that has garnered considerable attention (45 citations) and spawned a data-driven successor. Her applied robotics work encompasses intralogistics automation, aerial manipulation systems, and UAV simulation benchmarking. Collectively, her research reflects a commitment to bridging theoretical rigor with real-world deployment, making her a valuable voice in both academic and industrial robotics communities.
