About
Dr. Lucia Saracino is a leading researcher in the field of rehabilitation robotics and human-robot interaction, with a particular focus on integrating wearable sensing technologies with portable robotic systems. Her work centers on developing innovative, patient-centered solutions for upper limb rehabilitation, aiming to make therapy more accessible and adaptable outside of traditional clinical settings. A key contribution is her pioneering research on the fusion of wearable sensors with mobile haptic robots, which enables real-time, quantitative assessment of patient progress during rehabilitation exercises. This approach allows for a high degree of flexibility in designing personalized therapeutic protocols, moving beyond rigid, one-size-fits-all methods. Her influential 2016 paper on this fusion technique, which has garnered significant attention in the field, demonstrates the potential of lightweight, portable devices to transform rehabilitation. Dr. Saracino’s work is notable for bridging the gap between advanced robotics and practical clinical application, paving the way for more effective, data-driven, and home-based rehabilitation strategies that empower patients and clinicians alike.
