About

Alessandro Forino is a leading figure in rehabilitation robotics, with a primary focus on developing advanced upper-limb exoskeletons for neurorehabilitation. His most impactful contribution is the creation of ANYexo, a versatile and dynamic rehabilitation robot detailed in his highly cited 2019 work (118 citations). This innovative platform leverages low-impedance, torque-controllable series elastic actuators, enabling it to safely and effectively assist patients with moderate to severe neurological impairments. Forino’s research addresses a critical gap in autonomous therapy, providing a robust experimental platform to validate novel control algorithms and hardware concepts that move beyond traditional, passive rehabilitation. By designing a system that can dynamically adapt to a patient’s residual capabilities, his work directly advances the goal of more personalized and effective motor recovery. Forino’s achievements have established him as a key innovator in the field, bridging the gap between cutting-edge mechatronics and clinical rehabilitation needs.
