About

Lorenzo Agostini is a leading researcher at the intersection of physical ergonomics, human–robot collaboration (HRC), and advanced sensor systems. His work focuses on making industrial robots safer and more intuitive partners for human operators, particularly through real-time monitoring of physical interactions and the development of novel sensing technologies. Agostini’s most cited paper, “Physical Ergonomics Monitoring in Human–Robot Collaboration” (2024, 12 citations), introduces a standards-based framework for hand-guiding applications, directly addressing a critical gap in HRC safety protocols. He has also pioneered self-sensing techniques for electrostatic grippers, as demonstrated in his 2022 paper on adhesion state estimation via online capacitance measurement (4 citations), enabling robots to handle fragile objects without damage. Additionally, his development of a multidirectional hemispherical dielectric elastomer proximity sensor (2022, 3 citations) offers a low-cost, flexible solution for collision avoidance in shared workspaces. Agostini’s contributions are notable for their practical, industry-ready approach, combining rigorous sensor calibration methods—such as his work on low-cost gyroscope and accelerometer calibration using free fall pendulum motion—with applications that directly enhance worker safety and robotic dexterity. His research is shaping the future of collaborative manufacturing.
