About
Lorenzo Bartalucci is a robotics researcher whose work sits at the intersection of rehabilitation engineering, wearable robotics, and human-robot interaction. His primary research focuses on developing hand exoskeleton systems for robot-augmented rehabilitation therapies, with particular emphasis on variable admittance control strategies that adapt to patient needs during virtual reality-based tasks. His most cited work, "Variable Admittance Control of a Hand Exoskeleton for Virtual Reality-Based Rehabilitation Tasks" (2022, 51 citations), demonstrates how user-friendly robotic interfaces can improve patient engagement and recovery outcomes. Bartalucci has made significant contributions to the mechanical design and optimization of hand exoskeletons, including an original hybrid-architecture finger mechanism (2023) and a 3D-printing-oriented redesign for rehabilitative tasks (2021). Beyond rehabilitation robotics, he has participated in competitive robotics through the UNIFI Robotics Team, contributing to autonomous underwater vehicle development for the RAMI 2023 competition. His research addresses the growing global demand for innovative therapies driven by aging populations, positioning him at the forefront of Health 4.0 technologies that leverage digitization and automation to improve quality of life for people with disabilities.
