About
Giulio Cicarelli is a researcher at the forefront of cognitive rehabilitation and human-robot interaction, with a focus on developing innovative technologies for neurodegenerative conditions. His work centers on bio-cooperative robotic systems and virtual reality-based interventions, particularly for Parkinson’s disease and mild cognitive impairment (MCI). As a key contributor to the OPERA project, Cicarelli helped develop the PRoBio platform—a pioneering bio-cooperative robotic system that integrates a service robot with immersive VR to deliver engaging, patient-centered rehabilitation. His recent study, published in 2025, provides preliminary user-centered evaluation of this platform through focus groups and living lab settings, gathering critical insights from patients and clinicians. While his work is still emerging, with his most-cited paper currently holding 1 citation, Cicarelli’s research addresses a pressing clinical need: MCI affects up to 40% of Parkinson’s patients, yet conventional rehabilitation often lacks engagement. His contributions represent a meaningful step toward more adaptive, motivating, and effective therapeutic tools, positioning him as a promising voice in the intersection of robotics, virtual reality, and neurorehabilitation.
