About

Liana Bertoni is a robotics researcher whose work centers on human-robot collaboration, end-effector control, and assistive robotics. Her most significant contribution is the ROS End-Effector framework, a hardware-agnostic software and control system that dramatically simplifies the integration of diverse robotic grippers—a critical bottleneck in industrial automation. This work, along with her generic grasp planning pipeline, has laid the foundation for reusable, modular control tools that reduce the burden of custom software development. Bertoni has also advanced human-robot interaction through a unified multimodal interface for the RELAX high-payload collaborative robot, enabling safer and more intuitive cooperation in heavy-duty tasks. Her laser-guided interaction interface for people with upper limb impairments demonstrates a strong commitment to socially impactful robotics, while her CONCERT modular reconfigurable cobot targets the challenging domain of on-site construction. With a growing citation record and a portfolio spanning from 2021 to 2025, Bertoni is establishing herself as a key figure in making robots more adaptable, accessible, and collaborative across industrial and assistive contexts.
