The research activity in the field of robotics includes modelling and control of flexible manipulators and visual servoing. Dr. Bascetta developed a visual servoing control technique, following an approach based on two-time scale control, to achieve the tip trajectory tracking of a flexible manipulator exploiting the information generated by a camera mounted on the end-effector. The methodology was further extended in order to use the visual information, together with strain gauge measurements, to damp out the link vibrations as well. This research (that was also the topic of the PhD study of Dr. Bascetta) was funded by the Italian Space Agency (ASI).

He also worked in the mechatronics and motion control field, in particular on the control of brushless/asynchronous motors using low resolution position sensors. This topic is of particular interest in many industrial applications, ranging from automotive and household appliances to industrial robots and machine tools. The research of Dr. Bascetta was particularly focused on the definition of an analytical but simple characterisation of the velocity estimation error, in order to assess the performance of non-model-based velocity estimation techniques. Moreover, he studied the performance limitations in Field Oriented Control for asynchronous machines due to the use of low resolution position sensors. A further work, related to this research field, has been the development of a mechatronic model of the velocity control system of a washing machine, and the study of simple (auto)tuning procedures to support a rational and efficient approach to the tuning of the velocity regulator.

Dr. Bascetta worked also on model-based PID autotuning techniques for 1-d.o.f. and 2-d.o.f. control architectures. In particular, he developed a technique, based on causal nonparametric modelling, for the design of the feedforward compensator in 2-d.o.f. controllers.
