About
Davide Cuppone’s research centers on the precise control of robotic manipulators, with a particular focus on hybrid position/force control and the dynamic modeling of force sensors. His major contribution lies in developing a sliding mode control scheme that enables robots to maintain stable contact forces while executing precise positional tasks—a critical challenge in assembly, polishing, and surgical robotics. By characterizing the dynamical model of the force sensor mounted at the end-effector, Cuppone provided a rigorous foundation for designing controllers that can reliably regulate interaction forces. His 2009 paper on hybrid position/force sliding mode control has garnered 17 citations, reflecting its influence on subsequent work in force-sensitive manipulation. A complementary study on force sensor dynamics, with 8 citations, further demonstrates his systematic approach to integrating sensor models into control architectures. Cuppone’s work is notable for bridging theoretical control design with practical sensor characterization, offering a robust framework for robots that must safely and accurately interact with their environment. His contributions are particularly valuable for researchers developing advanced manufacturing or assistive robotic systems where contact force regulation is paramount.
