About
Ricardo Suterio is a leading researcher in industrial robotics and automation, with a focus on precision manufacturing for the aerospace sector. His work centers on enhancing the accuracy and flexibility of robotic systems for critical tasks like assembly, drilling, and riveting. Suterio’s most cited study (70 citations) pioneered the use of indoor GPS as feedback for robotic alignment of fuselage sections, comparing its performance against laser radar measurements—a key contribution to large-scale aircraft assembly. He also advanced the use of 6-DOF robots as machine tools (27 citations), improving their rigidity and path accuracy for machining operations. In human-robot interaction, Suterio developed a novel evaluation method comparing force guidance systems with traditional teach pendants (21 citations), offering a systematic framework for selecting intuitive online programming interfaces in industrial settings. His work on perpendicularity control (9 citations) addresses a critical challenge in robotic drilling for aircraft manufacturing, ensuring end-effector alignment to prevent defects. Collectively, Suterio’s research bridges the gap between commercial robots and high-precision aerospace applications, with his methods directly influencing production quality and efficiency.
