About
Domenico Mundo is a leading researcher in biomedical robotics, with a primary focus on upper-limb rehabilitation technologies and surgical instrumentation. His work addresses critical challenges in restoring motor function after brain injuries such as stroke, spinal cord injury, and cerebral palsy. Mundo’s major contributions include pioneering systematic design approaches for innovative rehabilitation devices, particularly soft exosuits, and advancing the transition from conventional actuators to artificial muscles—a shift that promises more natural, comfortable, and effective patient assistance. His highly cited 2024 review on upper-limb rehabilitation devices (15 citations) and his critical analysis of actuator technologies (10 citations) have shaped current design paradigms in the field. Beyond rehabilitation, Mundo has contributed to biomedical instrumentation, including the kinematic analysis of spatial linkages for anatomical motion measurement and the development of miniaturized bevel gears for medical applications. His work on the Navi–Robot surgical instrument and robotic control of endoscopic tools highlights his versatility in surgical robotics. With a career spanning over two decades, Mundo’s research continues to drive innovation toward affordable, high-performance robotic solutions for clinical and daily living support.
