About
Luca Sorrentino is a leading figure in advanced composite manufacturing, whose work has fundamentally shaped the field of robotized filament winding. His research focuses on the automated deposition of high-performance composite materials, specifically developing the robotic systems, winding trajectories, and process parameters needed to manufacture complex, asymmetric structural parts that traditional winding cannot achieve. His most influential contribution is the demonstration of how robotic precision can produce high-performance isogrid structures, a breakthrough detailed in his highly cited 2016 paper (79 citations). Sorrentino’s body of work systematically addresses the critical challenges of the technology, from designing novel feed-deposition heads to controlling winding tension and optimizing robot trajectories. His 2019 review (56 citations) has become a key reference for the field. By solving the engineering problems of trajectory planning and tension control for full-section and asymmetric parts, Sorrentino has transformed robotized filament winding from a niche concept into a viable industrial technology for manufacturing lightweight, high-strength composite components.
