I am a PhD candidate at Advanced Robotics Department, Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia, where I am dealing with the development of robotic exoskeletons to assist factory workers and reduce the incidence of occupational injuries, in partnership with the Italian Workers’ Compensation Authority (INAIL).
Within the group, my research is mainly focused on the development of control strategies for our assistive exoskeletons based on the combination of relevant measurements from the environment with biosignals from the user, with the aim to follow the user’s intent.
