About
Alberto Bonanno is a leading figure in the design of low-power, high-sensitivity sensor interfaces for robotics, with a focus on advancing tactile sensing technologies. His major contribution lies in developing flexible read-out circuits (ROCs) that enable commercial resistive pressure sensors to achieve unprecedented precision—detecting minute capacitance variations at pressures below 100 mbar. His most cited work, a 2015 paper on a 130 nm CMOS ROC with tunable sensitivity, has garnered 8 citations and demonstrates a practical, low-power solution for robotic contact detection and pressure monitoring. This innovation bridges the gap between off-the-shelf sensors and custom, high-performance systems, making it invaluable for applications in prosthetics, human-robot interaction, and industrial automation. Bonanno’s research is characterized by its emphasis on energy efficiency and adaptability, ensuring that his designs can be integrated into power-constrained robotic platforms. His work not only enhances the reliability of tactile feedback in robots but also sets a benchmark for scalable, cost-effective sensor readout architectures, marking him as a key contributor to the evolution of intelligent robotic systems.
