About
Francesco Sanfedino is a leading researcher in multibody dynamics, control-oriented modeling, and the simulation of flexible space structures. His work bridges the gap between high-fidelity nonlinear dynamics and advanced control design, enabling more robust and efficient solutions for complex aerospace systems. A key contribution is his development of a novel linear fractional transformation (LFT) modeling approach for uncertain linear parameter-varying (LPV) multibody systems with parameter-dependent equilibrium, published in 2022 and cited 7 times. This method allows engineers to capture parameter variations and uncertainties directly within the control design framework, a significant advance over traditional linearization techniques. Sanfedino has also explored the on-orbit assembly of large flexible structures using multi-arm robots, as detailed in his 2025 paper on dynamics modeling and path optimization. His work is instrumental in enabling future space missions that require autonomous construction and manipulation of large, flexible systems. With a growing citation record, Sanfedino’s research is shaping the next generation of control and dynamics tools for space robotics and multibody systems.
