About

Daniela Morelli is a pioneering researcher in assistive neurorehabilitation technologies, with a primary focus on developing brain-computer interface (BCI) systems and robotic mobility aids for individuals with severe motor disabilities. Her landmark work on the ASPICE project, which has garnered 12 citations, introduced a groundbreaking software-controlled system that enables neuromotor-disabled persons to recover mobility and communication through direct brain operation. More recently, she has advanced the field of pediatric rehabilitation through her 2024 study on reciprocating system aids for standing and walking in children with severe cerebral palsy. This observational report, documenting 22 cases, demonstrates how robotic assistive devices can significantly enhance community engagement and quality of life for young patients. Her work bridges the critical gap between theoretical neuroengineering and practical clinical applications, particularly for the most vulnerable populations. Morelli's research is distinguished by its direct translational impact, offering tangible solutions that restore independence and social participation. Her contributions are especially valuable to students and researchers interested in the intersection of neural engineering, assistive robotics, and pediatric rehabilitation medicine.
