About

Jaryd Urbani is a researcher at the forefront of human-robot interaction and mixed reality, whose work redefines how we augment human capabilities. His primary research areas include supernumerary robotic limbs (SRLs), wearable robotics, and the integration of augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) for everyday applications. Urbani’s major contribution is the development of "Orochi," a novel wearable robotic system designed to address the obtrusiveness and limited interaction genericity of SRLs, enabling more seamless daily use. This work, published in 2019, has garnered 48 citations, underscoring its influence in the field. He also pioneered a framework for exploring AR interaction in multipurpose wearable robots, bridging the gap between robotics and wearable devices (10 citations). Additionally, Urbani investigated the combined use of VR and AR in gaming with "Clash tanks" (7 citations), pushing boundaries in cohesive mixed-reality experiences. His achievements include extracting key design considerations from prior literature to create more practical, user-friendly robotic limbs, and his interdisciplinary approach has inspired new directions in assistive and interactive technologies. Urbani’s work is essential reading for students and researchers interested in the future of wearable robotics and immersive human-computer interaction.
