Riccardo Lisci

About

Riccardo Lisci is a researcher at the intersection of precision agriculture and medical physics, whose work advances robotic systems for both sustainable farming and healthcare. His primary contributions lie in developing autonomous platforms for targeted pesticide application, notably through the EU FP7 RHEA Project, where he helped design and test robotic fleets for tree crops. This work addresses the EU directive 2009/128/EC by optimizing pesticide use via calibration indexes that link airjet vectors to canopy characteristics, reducing environmental impact. His paper "AgroBot Smash a Robotic Platform for the Sustainable Precision Agriculture" (12 citations) and the RHEA-project robot study (12 citations) showcase his impact in agricultural robotics. In medical physics, Lisci developed the ADAM phantom (8 citations), a 4D imaging and dose delivery testing device that improves radiotherapy accuracy for moving lesions, aiding cancer treatment while sparing healthy tissues. With over 40 citations across his top works, Lisci’s interdisciplinary approach—from field robots to medical phantoms—demonstrates a commitment to solving real-world challenges through automation, making him a notable figure in applied robotics and sustainable technology.
