About
Marcello Valori is a leading researcher in the safety of collaborative and rehabilitation robotics, with a career dedicated to bridging the gap between human-robot interaction and practical, certifiable safety. His work is foundational in defining how robots can safely share workspaces with humans, moving beyond theoretical risk to validated, real-world practice. Valori’s major contributions include systematic reviews and safety assessment frameworks that identify critical knowledge gaps in rehabilitation robot safety (99 citations) and establish new standards for human-robot collaboration (98 citations). He has also developed practical tools like the COVR Toolkit, which helps non-experts implement safe cobot applications across diverse domains from healthcare to agriculture. His research on contact modelling and impact measuring methods (17 citations) and ergonomic monitoring in hand-guiding applications (12 citations) directly informs international safety standards. With over 340 total citations, Valori’s work is essential for engineers and researchers seeking to deploy robots safely in industrial, medical, and service settings, making him a key figure in the evolution of trustworthy, human-centered robotics.
