About

Lorenzo Saccares is a leading researcher at the intersection of collaborative robotics, occupational safety, and bipedal locomotion benchmarking. His work primarily focuses on enhancing industrial safety and health through next-generation robotic systems, where he has pioneered frameworks to protect workers from musculoskeletal threats. Saccares’ most cited paper (11 citations) redefines Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) by integrating robotic collaboration to improve working environments and promote a culture of safety. He is also a key contributor to the European Eurobench project, where he developed standardized software methodologies for reproducible bipedal robot experiments, enabling fair comparisons across platforms. His survey on public expectations for bipedal robot benchmarking (5 citations) has shaped the field’s evaluation standards. Additionally, Saccares co-founded IUVO, a spin-off company commercializing wearable robotic technologies, bridging academic innovation with real-world impact. With a career spanning foundational safety protocols and cutting-edge benchmarking tools, Saccares continues to drive safer, more efficient human-robot collaboration in industrial and research settings.
