About
Alessandro Sanginario is a leading researcher in the field of capacitive sensing systems, with a particular focus on tactile skin technologies for humanoid robotics. His work centers on developing robust, scalable read-out circuits that can overcome the significant challenges of parasitic effects and transducer variation in physical assemblies. In his highly cited 2017 paper, Sanginario introduced a novel capacitive digital read-out circuit fabricated in a 130 nm RFCMOS process, demonstrating a calibration method to nullify parasitic influences—a critical step toward practical, large-area sensitive skin. This contribution has garnered 18 citations, reflecting its impact on the robotics and sensor communities. Beyond this flagship work, Sanginario’s research spans mixed-signal integrated circuit design, sensor interface electronics, and low-power systems for biomedical and industrial applications. His achievements include advancing the state of the art in tactile sensing for human-robot interaction, enabling more natural and safe collaboration between humans and machines. For students and researchers, Sanginario’s work exemplifies how clever circuit design can solve real-world hardware challenges, bridging the gap between theoretical sensor concepts and deployable robotic systems.
