About

D.M. De Micheli is a pioneering researcher in robotics and human-machine interaction, with key contributions spanning multibody dynamics, sensorized robotic systems, and advanced interface design. His work on the multibody modelling of N DOF robot arms for milling manufacturing—his most cited paper with 36 citations—provides foundational insights into dynamic analysis and position error evaluation, advancing precision in industrial robotics. De Micheli also made early, influential contributions to glove-like advanced interfaces (19 citations), addressing critical design aspects for teleoperation of dexterous robot hands and virtual environments, including kinesthetic sensors and hand force feedback systems. His research on smart sensorized polymeric skin (18 citations) further demonstrates his impact, enabling safe robot collision detection and environmental interaction for supervised robotic platforms in non-invasive and minimally invasive surgery. This work supports the complex interaction between medical doctors, patients, and robotic assistants, reflecting De Micheli’s commitment to enhancing safety and efficacy in medical robotics. Across his career, his interdisciplinary approach has shaped both industrial automation and healthcare robotics, making him a notable figure in the field.
