About
Salvatore Fusco is a robotics researcher whose work focuses on the design and control of robotic systems for operation in remote, constrained, and hazardous environments—particularly for fusion energy applications. His research spans two key areas: human-in-the-loop control architectures for remote handling in fusion reactors, and the development of soft growing robots for sensor delivery in inaccessible spaces. In his work on the NEFERTARI project, Fusco proposed a general control architecture for robotic equipment used in the remote maintenance of in-vessel fusion components, with planned testing on the RFX-mod2 experiment. He has also made notable contributions to soft robotics, demonstrating how fabric pneumatic artificial muscle-actuated growing robots can evert and steer from the tip to deliver sensors in confined environments. His publications, including those on long-reach manipulators and soft robot steering capabilities, each hold 2 citations, reflecting early-stage but focused impact. Fusco’s work bridges the gap between advanced robotic design and practical deployment in extreme settings, offering promising solutions for inspection, monitoring, and maintenance tasks that are otherwise impossible for humans or traditional rigid robots.
