About

Raffaele Carli is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of robotics, automation, and smart manufacturing, with a particular focus on Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC) and Industry 4.0/5.0 technologies. His most influential contribution — a 2021 survey on control techniques for safe, ergonomic, and efficient human-robot collaboration, now cited over 170 times — has established him as a leading voice in shaping how cobots can be integrated safely and effectively into modern industrial environments. Carli's research spans trajectory planning and optimization, where he develops multi-objective approaches that simultaneously address safety, ergonomics, and time-efficiency in collaborative workplaces. Beyond traditional robotics, he has extended his expertise to emerging domains such as human-drone interaction in warehouse settings and path-following control for autonomous mobile platforms. His 2022 work on automated bin packing and pallet configuration optimization, with over 50 citations, demonstrates a strong commitment to solving real-world logistics challenges. Across his portfolio, Carli consistently bridges theoretical control engineering with practical industrial deployment, making his research highly relevant for students and practitioners working to advance the next generation of intelligent, human-centered manufacturing systems.
