About
Emanuele Peperoni is a rising force in wearable robotics and rehabilitation engineering, with a focus on restoring hand and limb function through intelligent, human-centered mechatronic systems. His research centers on the design and control of exoskeletons for post-traumatic and neurological rehabilitation, with key contributions in kinematic compatibility, compliant actuation, and human-robot interaction. Peperoni’s most cited work introduces the HandeXos-gamma, a torque-controlled hand exoskeleton that fuses surface electromyography (sEMG) with finger kinematics to decode user intent—a novel approach that has garnered 23 citations. His self-aligning finger exoskeleton for metacarpophalangeal joint mobilization (19 citations) addresses the critical challenge of kinematic compatibility, a prerequisite for clinical adoption. Beyond the hand, Peperoni has developed a model-based framework for selecting mechatronic components in wearable robots, applied to an active ankle-foot prosthesis. His recent pilot study on post-traumatic hand rehabilitation using a powered metacarpal-phalangeal exoskeleton demonstrates clinical translation, while his 2025 work on enhancing motor synchrony in dyadic tasks via portable elbow exoskeletons pushes into the emerging paradigm of Human-Robot-Human interaction. With a growing citation footprint and a trajectory toward real-world impact, Peperoni is shaping the next generation of assistive and rehabilitative robotics.
