About
Michele Riccio is a rising researcher at the forefront of human-robot interaction and soft robotics, with a focus on creating intelligent, sensor-rich systems for assistive and prosthetic technologies. His work bridges the gap between advanced sensing, edge artificial intelligence, and mechanical design. A key contribution is his exploration of **Deep Edge-AI for prosthetic control**, where he demonstrated the feasibility of using Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) and on-device AI on an Intelligent Sensor Processing Unit (ISPU) to control a robotic extra limb, such as the "Sixth Finger." This work, published in 2025, promises to enable more responsive and autonomous assistive devices. In parallel, Riccio has advanced **soft robotics** through the design of a novel sensor-equipped joint that integrates highly sensitive feedback mechanisms. This innovation enables accurate trajectory tracking in soft robotic fingers and manipulators, addressing a critical challenge in the field. Though his most-cited papers are recent, their immediate impact signals a promising trajectory. Riccio’s research is laying the groundwork for the next generation of intuitive, adaptive, and wearable robotic systems.
