About

Giuseppe Quaglia is a distinguished robotics researcher whose work spans mobile robot locomotion, autonomous systems, and precision agriculture. Based at the Politecnico di Torino, Quaglia has built a remarkable body of research centered on developing innovative ground mobile robots capable of navigating unstructured and challenging environments. His most influential contribution, a 2012 comprehensive review of locomotion systems for ground mobile robots, has garnered over 237 citations and remains a foundational reference in the field. Quaglia is perhaps best known for the **Epi.q** family of hybrid wheel-legged robots — versatile platforms designed for surveillance, security, and obstacle traversal — demonstrating his talent for translating theoretical locomotion concepts into working robotic systems. More recently, Quaglia has made significant strides in precision agriculture robotics, co-authoring a widely cited 2022 state-of-the-art review (170 citations) and leading development of the solar-powered **Agri.q** unmanned ground vehicle, capable of navigating irregular terrain with an integrated robotic arm. His 2022 work on omnidirectional wheeled robots and the **Marvin** assistive domestic robot further reflects his responsiveness to societal challenges like population aging. Collectively, his publications have accumulated hundreds of citations, cementing his reputation as a leading voice in applied mobile robotics.
