About
Frano Petric is a leading researcher in multi-robot systems and human-robot interaction, with a particular focus on cooperative aerial-ground robotics and robot-assisted autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnostics. His most cited work, "Cooperative Aerial-Ground Multi-Robot System for Automated Construction Tasks" (98 citations), introduces novel planning and coordination methods for heterogeneous robot teams performing complex construction tasks, demonstrating significant impact in the field of automated construction. Petric has also made pioneering contributions to ASD diagnostics, developing Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (POMDP) frameworks that enable humanoid robots to autonomously conduct diagnostic protocols. His research on compliant plant exploration for agricultural procedures, using collaborative robots like Franka Panda to build 3D plant models without external sensors, showcases his versatility in applying robotics to real-world challenges. With multiple publications on robot-assisted ASD diagnostics, including functional imitation tasks and hierarchical POMDP models, Petric's work bridges the gap between theoretical modeling and practical clinical applications. His elliptical motion method for quadrupedal locomotion further demonstrates his broad expertise in robot kinematics and control systems.
