About

Marco Giordano is a leading researcher in assistive robotics and human-machine interaction, with a focus on developing intuitive control systems for individuals with motor impairments. His work centers on body-machine interfaces (BoMIs), which translate residual voluntary movements into commands for assistive devices like robotic arms. Giordano’s major contribution lies in pioneering non-linear BoMIs that overcome the limitations of traditional linear approaches, such as Principal Component Analysis (PCA), to offer more natural and adaptive control. His most-cited paper, “A Non-Linear Body Machine Interface for Controlling Assistive Robotic Arms” (2023, 14 citations), demonstrates how these interfaces can enhance independence in daily activities for people with paralysis. This work builds on his earlier study, “Controlling an Assistive Robotic Manipulator via a Non-linear Body-Machine Interface” (2021, 3 citations), which laid the groundwork for real-time, user-friendly robotic control. Giordano’s innovations are critical for advancing assistive technology, directly impacting the quality of life for individuals with severe motor disabilities. His research bridges engineering and rehabilitation, offering scalable solutions for personalized assistive devices.
