Mummolo's work addresses the characterization of human balance through computational models, soft contact effects in legged systems, and transdisciplinary studies of aging-related locomotion changes. She explores stability criteria for biped robots and develops metrics for motor task difficulty.

Her recent research trends include integrating reinforcement learning with muscle control, analyzing gait stability in aging populations, and optimizing contact-dependent balance in robotic systems. Key methodologies involve analytical-stochastic modeling and state-space characterization of dynamic systems.

Carlotta Mummolo's publications demonstrate interdisciplinary collaboration between robotics and human biomechanics, with implications for rehabilitation technologies and humanoid robot design.
