About
Loris Gregoris is a leading figure in space robotics, best known for his pioneering work on dexterous manipulation systems for orbital operations. His key research areas encompass adaptive robotic grippers, autonomous grasping, and human-robot interaction for extraterrestrial environments. Gregoris’s most notable contribution is the development of the Self-Adapting Robotic Auxiliary Hand (SARAH), designed for the Special Purpose Dextrous Manipulator (SPDM) aboard the International Space Station. This innovative hand, with its ability to grasp a wide variety of objects without prior programming, represented a major leap in robotic autonomy and versatility, enabling more complex maintenance and assembly tasks in microgravity. The foundational paper on SARAH (2001) has garnered over 21 citations, underscoring its influence on subsequent space robotics and adaptive grasping research. Gregoris’s work has directly shaped the design of robotic end-effectors for orbital servicing, and his achievements continue to inspire new generations of engineers tackling the challenges of autonomous manipulation in space.
