About
Federica Durini is a leading researcher at the intersection of soft robotics and tactile sensing, with a primary focus on enhancing human-robot collaboration. Her work centers on developing innovative sensor technologies that enable robots to safely interact with humans by providing both exteroception (awareness of external stimuli) and proprioception (awareness of their own body position). Her most-cited paper, "Soft large area FBG tactile sensors for exteroception and proprioception in a collaborative robotic manipulator" (2021), has garnered 6 citations and represents a significant contribution to the field. In this work, Durini designed, developed, and validated a novel soft tactile sensor using Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) technology, addressing the critical need for safe human-machine interaction as robots become more integrated into daily life. Her research is particularly notable for its practical application in collaborative robotic manipulators, where safety and sensitivity are paramount. Through her innovative approach to large-area tactile sensing, Durini is helping to pave the way for more intuitive and safer robotic systems that can work alongside humans in shared environments.
