About

Marcos Paulo Torre is a robotics researcher whose work focuses on the intersection of industrial automation, robotic inspection, and human-robot interaction. His primary research areas include autonomous robotic systems for infrastructure maintenance, teleoperation, and haptic feedback technologies. Torre’s most notable contribution is the development of **ROSI**, a novel robotic method for inspecting belt conveyor structures—a critical innovation for industries reliant on dry bulk material transport. This work, which has garnered **17 citations**, addresses the traditionally cognitive and labor-intensive task of inspecting conveyor components like idler rolls, offering a safer and more efficient automated alternative. Additionally, Torre has advanced the field of teleoperation through his work on controlling an **ABB IRB 120 robotic manipulator** and **BarrettHand BH8-282** using a **Geomagic Touch X haptic device** and the Robot Operating System (ROS). This research, cited **6 times**, enhances human-robot interfaces for remote or hazardous environments. By combining practical industrial applications with cutting-edge teleoperation techniques, Torre’s work demonstrates a clear impact on improving safety, efficiency, and control in robotics, making him a notable contributor to modern robotic inspection and telemanipulation.
