About

Dr. Elisa Panero is a leading researcher in biomechanical motion analysis and human-centered robotics, with a focus on wearable exoskeletons for industrial applications. Her work bridges the gap between human biomechanics and assistive technology, particularly in the context of Industry 5.0’s human-centric manufacturing paradigm. Dr. Panero’s major contributions include the development of a two-segments foot model for precise biomechanical motion analysis, which has been cited 5 times for its foundational impact on gait studies. She has also advanced the kinematic and dynamic assessment of trunk exoskeletons, demonstrating how these devices can reduce strain during human locomotion and manual tasks—work that has garnered 5 citations. Her recent 2025 study on back-assistance exoskeletons, already cited 4 times, explores how wearable robots can enhance sustainability and resilience in production environments. Additionally, her experimental characterization of active joints for trunk exoskeletons (3 citations) provides critical insights for designing more effective assistive devices. Dr. Panero’s research is pivotal for developing ergonomic solutions that prioritize worker well-being while maintaining industrial efficiency.
