About
Lorenzo Moriello is a roboticist whose work bridges the gap between dexterous manipulation, underwater intervention, and intelligent motion control. His research is defined by a focus on mechatronic design and advanced control strategies for robotic systems operating in complex environments. He is perhaps best known for his contributions to the DEXMART hand, a highly anthropomorphic robotic hand detailed in his most-cited work (178 citations), which introduced synergy-based control to achieve human-like grasping. In the underwater domain, Moriello has been instrumental in developing robust, cable-driven grippers and contributing to the Italian national project MARIS, which aims to advance autonomous underwater intervention systems. His work on liquid handling robotics is equally notable, where he pioneered feed-forward control techniques to suppress sloshing—a critical challenge for industrial automation and teleoperation. With a portfolio of papers accumulating hundreds of citations, Moriello has also made significant contributions to sensor technology, including an innovative optoelectronic 6-axis force/torque sensor, and to improving industrial robot accuracy through iterative trajectory modification. His research demonstrates a consistent commitment to solving real-world manipulation and control problems, from the lab bench to the ocean floor.
