About

Bernardo Brogi is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics, virtual reality, and human-computer interaction, with a focus on bridging the gap between digital and physical worlds. His key research areas include the Physical Metaverse, diminished reality, and haptic interfaces, where he explores how robotic avatars can enable tangible interactions within immersive shared spaces. Brogi’s major contributions center on the development of the "Avatarm"—a robotic avatar system that allows remote users to manipulate physical objects while maintaining a sense of presence and body language in the Metaverse. His most-cited work, "The Avatarm: Interacting in the Physical Metaverse via Robotics, Diminished Reality, and Haptics" (2024, 13 citations), introduces a framework for combining diminished reality with haptics to enhance object-based dialogue and expressiveness. A follow-up paper, "Avatarm: an Avatar With Manipulation Capabilities for the Physical Metaverse" (2023, 6 citations), further demonstrates how users can grasp and move real-world objects through their digital counterparts. Brogi’s research is notable for its practical approach to extending Metaverse interactions beyond virtual confines, with potential applications in remote collaboration, teleoperation, and assistive technologies. His work is gaining traction for redefining how we perceive and interact with mixed realities.
