About

Daniele Esposito is a leading researcher at the intersection of human–machine interaction and soft robotics, with a focus on assistive and rehabilitation technologies. His pioneering work in biosignal-based human–machine interfaces (HMIs) has redefined how individuals with motor impairments can interact with devices, leveraging unobtrusive biosignal monitoring to create intuitive control systems. His highly cited 2021 survey on this topic, with 77 citations, serves as a foundational reference for the field, mapping the transition from traditional HMIs to those driven by physiological signals. More recently, Esposito has advanced soft robotics through his comprehensive review of electrohydraulic actuators inspired by the HASEL (Hydraulically Amplified Self-healing Electrostatic) actuator, published in 2025. This work highlights his ability to synthesize cutting-edge developments in muscle-like actuation, emphasizing speed and biomimetic movement for applications in rehabilitation and assistance. His contributions bridge engineering and healthcare, offering practical pathways for next-generation prosthetics and wearable robots. Esposito’s research not only drives technological innovation but also empowers individuals, making him a key figure in the growing field of human-centered robotics.
