About

Luigi Raiano is a leading researcher in human-robot interaction, with a focus on supernumerary robotic limbs, haptic feedback, and telemanipulation. His work centers on restoring and enhancing the human sensorimotor loop—the connection between sensing, acting, and feeling in control. Raiano’s major contributions include developing novel proprioceptive feedback systems that use vibrotactile stimulation to give users real-time awareness of a robotic limb’s position and state, effectively allowing them to “feel” the robot as part of their own body. His 2020 paper on this topic has garnered 25 citations, while his study “Doublecheck” (24 citations) explores how sensory confirmation is essential for the sense of ownership and agency over a robotic hand. He has also advanced teleoperation with target-guided architectures for assisted grasping (20 citations) and compared end-effector versus joint angle feedback for robotic limb tracking (17 citations). Raiano’s work on Cartesian space feedback for supernumerary limbs (15 citations) and his development of a sensorized object for grasping assessment (10 citations) further demonstrate his impact. His research is critical for applications in rehabilitation, prosthetics, and remote robotic control, making him a key figure in the future of embodied interaction.
