About
Marco Santoro is a leading researcher at the intersection of robotics, sustainable manufacturing, and end-of-life management for electric vehicle components. His work is pivotal in addressing the critical challenge of recycling lithium-ion batteries, a cornerstone of the circular economy. Santoro’s most-cited paper, “Problems and Requirements for the Robotic Disassembly of Lithium-Ion Batteries in the Automotive Industry,” published in 2024, has already garnered 4 citations, signaling its immediate impact on the field. In this work, he systematically identifies the technical, safety, and logistical hurdles in automating battery disassembly—a process essential for recovering valuable materials like lithium, cobalt, and nickel. By outlining precise requirements for robotic systems, Santoro provides a foundational roadmap for engineers and manufacturers aiming to scale up sustainable recycling operations. His contributions are not merely theoretical; they bridge the gap between current industrial practices and the future of automated, safe, and efficient battery recycling. As the automotive industry accelerates toward electrification, Santoro’s research is increasingly vital, offering practical solutions to reduce waste and environmental harm. His work stands as a key reference for students and researchers exploring robotics in green manufacturing.
