About

Alfredo Cesario is a pioneering researcher in the fields of neurorehabilitation robotics and surgical innovation, with a focus on translating advanced technologies into clinical practice. His major contributions include leading the development of the SCRIPT project, which designed a hand/wrist exoskeleton for home-based rehabilitation after stroke, enabling patients to perform therapy independently. This work, cited over 100 times, has been instrumental in demonstrating the feasibility and efficacy of robotic tools for remote, patient-centered care. Cesario also contributed to the technical evaluation of the SCRIPT Passive Orthosis, used by 24 patients across three EU countries, highlighting its potential for scalable home therapy. In surgical robotics, he made notable strides by performing the first experimental robotic pulmonary lobectomy using the TELELAP/ALFX system in an ovine model—a system uniquely equipped with tactile feedback. This achievement, though early-stage, underscores his commitment to advancing minimally invasive surgery. With a career bridging rehabilitation and surgical robotics, Cesario’s work continues to shape how technology augments human recovery and precision medicine.
