About
Dr. Massimiliano Passalacqua is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of rehabilitation robotics and advanced industrial motor control. His primary contributions focus on developing intelligent, adaptive control systems that enhance human-robot interaction, particularly for biomedical applications. In his highly cited 2013 paper on the CBM-Motus robot, he pioneered an integrated mechanics-and-control approach for upper-limb rehabilitation, demonstrating how dynamic characterization can improve patient-robot interaction (7 citations). His earlier 2008 work provided a critical comparative analysis of adaptive compliance control laws, specifically examining self-regulated and coactivation-based strategies for safe, effective human-robot collaboration (5 citations). Demonstrating remarkable versatility, Dr. Passalacqua also tackles challenges in heavy industry, as shown in his 2024 work on sensorless control of medium voltage induction motors with LC filters for submarine oil pumps—a system requiring precise control over a 20-km undersea cable (4 citations). This breadth, from therapeutic robots to subsea drives, marks him as a researcher who bridges the gap between human-centered robotics and demanding industrial automation.
