About

Guilherme Sartori Natal is a Brazilian robotics researcher whose work sits at the intersection of high-speed parallel manipulators and robotic flight simulation. His most impactful contributions focus on achieving extreme accelerations—up to 100G—in pick-and-place parallel robots. In his highly cited 2014 paper (60 citations), he proposed and experimentally validated dual-space control schemes for the R4 redundantly actuated manipulator, demonstrating robust performance under payload changes. He further advanced this field by developing nonlinear control strategies for the Par2 manipulator that eliminate the need for velocity measurement while actively addressing mechanical vibrations—a critical challenge at very high speeds. Beyond high-acceleration robotics, Natal has been instrumental in the SIVOR (Robotic Flight Simulator) project, a collaboration between ITA and Embraer. His work here includes implementing washout filters on anthropomorphic robots to create cost-effective, high-fidelity flight simulators, and evaluating human performance using FOQA parameters. He has also explored novel applications such as snake-robots for automated aircraft fuselage sealing. With over 100 total citations, Natal’s research bridges fundamental control theory with practical industrial automation and aerospace simulation, making him a notable figure in Brazilian robotics.
