Varma Family Professor in Robotics
Professor Gennaro Notomista is the Varma Family Professor in Robotics, focused on the design and control of robotic systems for long-duration autonomy with applications to persistent environmental monitoring for climate change ecological studies.
Using bio-inspired design principles and modern nonlinear control techniques, Professor Notomista's work on resilience and energy awareness allows robots to be successfully deployed to monitor the environment over sustained amounts of time in order to collect spatially and temporally disperse data.
See Professor Notomista's faculty profile and personal website for more details about his work outside of the RoboHub.
