About
Carlo Greco is a leading researcher in the fields of soft robotics and rehabilitation engineering, with a focus on bioinspired actuation and wearable assistive technologies. His major contributions center on the development and application of twisted and coiled artificial muscles—a novel class of lightweight, high-performance actuators that mimic natural muscle movement. Greco’s seminal 2021 review, "The evolution of mechanical actuation," has garnered 66 citations and serves as a foundational reference for researchers transitioning from conventional actuators to artificial muscle systems. In his highly cited 2023 work, "Lightweight Bioinspired Exoskeleton for Wrist Rehabilitation Powered by Twisted and Coiled Artificial Muscles" (17 citations), Greco demonstrated a practical, portable solution for upper limb rehabilitation following stroke, cerebral palsy, and spinal cord injuries. This exoskeleton represents a significant step toward home-based therapy, addressing the critical need for lightweight, efficient, and human-like motion in assistive devices. Greco’s work is notable for bridging materials science, mechanical design, and clinical application, positioning him as a key innovator in the next generation of rehabilitation robotics.
