Alessio Artoni is an Associate Professor of Applied Mechanics (IIND-02/A, Meccanica Applicata alle Macchine) in the Department of Civil and Industrial Engineering at the Università di Pisa (Italy).
He earned his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the Università di Pisa in 2008, with a dissertation on microgeometry optimization of spiral bevel and hypoid gears, under the supervision of Prof. Massimo Guiggiani and Marco Gabiccini. He then carried out postdoctoral research at The Ohio State University (USA), collaborating with Prof. Ahmet Kahraman.
Prof. Artoni has served as Principal Investigator and as a researcher on projects about driveline/transmission design funded by industrial partners including the aerospace company GE Avio Aero, the Gear and Power Transmission Research Laboratory (GearLab, The Ohio State University), Ferrari and Scuderia Ferrari, Dana. He has also contributed to major EU-funded projects, including FP7 PaCMan (robotic manipulation), GTFTR (geared turbofan test rig), WALK-MAN (robotic locomotion and manipulation), and the Horizon 2020 SoMa (robotic soft manipulation).
He is currently an Associate Editor for the journals Mechanism and Machine Theory and Precision Engineering.
Research interests:
Optimal design of gear drives (especially spiral bevel and hypoid gears) for power transmission
Simulation-based multi-objective and robust design optimization
Trajectory planning and numerical optimal control for robotic systems
