About

Nicholas D’Amore’s research lies at the intersection of teleoperation, reconfigurable robotics, and human–robot collaboration for extreme environments. His most-cited work, “Transparency and Tuning of Wave-Based Bilateral Teleoperation Systems” (2016, 18 citations), addresses the fundamental challenge of maintaining stability and transparency in force-feedback teleoperation under communication latency—a critical issue for remote surgery and space robotics. D’Amore also advanced kinematic identification for reconfigurable robots using IMU sensors (2015, 8 citations), enabling rapid model generation for adaptable systems. His contributions to planetary exploration are exemplified by the Desert FLEAS III field tests (2012, 5 citations), where he demonstrated collaborative EVA/robotic science missions under NASA’s LASER program. Notably, D’Amore explored the economic viability of smallsat-based dexterous robotics for satellite servicing (2014, 3 citations), proposing cost-effective alternatives to traditional large-scale systems. More recently, he has turned to socially impactful applications, investigating assistive robots for Long COVID and ME/CFS support (2022, 2 citations)—a timely exploration of robotics for mass-disabling health conditions. With a career spanning control theory, field robotics, and assistive technology, D’Amore’s work consistently bridges theoretical rigor with real-world deployment challenges.
