About

A. Minotti is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of flexible electronics, advanced sensing technologies, and human-robot interaction. Their most influential contribution, "Flexible sensing systems based on polysilicon thin film transistors technology" (2012), has garnered 69 citations, establishing them as a notable voice in the development of lightweight, low-cost sensor platforms suitable for biomedical, robotic, and smart environment applications. Building on this foundation, Minotti has explored the integration of organic and piezoelectric materials — particularly PVDF-TrFE — into ultra-thin flexible substrates, demonstrating fully organic tactile sensors capable of supporting sophisticated robotic manipulation. Their work on Low Temperature Polycrystalline Silicon (LTPS) thin film transistor technology further advances the practical deployment of flexible sensors across diverse industries. More recently, Minotti has expanded into the systems-level challenges of smart manufacturing, contributing to frameworks for safer human-robot collaboration in mixed industrial environments. Taken together, their research traces a coherent arc from material-level innovation in flexible electronics to real-world deployment in intelligent, human-centered robotic systems — offering valuable insights for students and engineers working at the frontier of soft robotics and Industry 4.0.
