About
Tiberio Grasso is a leading researcher in the field of robotic manipulation for extreme environments, with a primary focus on hyper-redundant manipulators for nuclear fusion maintenance. His work addresses the critical challenge of safely operating highly articulated robots in confined, hazardous spaces where human access is impossible. Grasso’s most influential contribution, "A Geometric Approach to Inverse Kinematics of Hyper-Redundant Manipulators for tokamaks maintenance" (2022, 35 citations), provides a novel mathematical framework for controlling these complex, snake-like robots, enabling precise motion planning within the tight confines of fusion reactors. Building on this foundation, his 2024 work on bidirectional human-machine control interfaces integrates virtual fixtures to enhance teleoperation safety, reducing operator cognitive load and mitigating collision risks. This research is pivotal for advancing remote handling in nuclear facilities, where even minor errors can have catastrophic consequences. Grasso’s work not only pushes the boundaries of robot kinematics but also directly supports the operational viability of future fusion energy plants, making him a key figure in the intersection of robotics and sustainable energy infrastructure.
