About

Marco Mugnaini is a rising researcher in the field of soft robotics and assistive technology, with a focused expertise in sensorization and trajectory tracking for robotic systems. His work centers on developing lightweight, durable, and cost-effective sensing solutions to enhance the control and functionality of soft robots and wearable robotic devices, such as Robotic Sixth Fingers designed to restore grasping abilities in individuals with mobility impairments. Mugnaini’s major contributions include pioneering methods for sensing passive joints in robotic extra fingers, enabling precise trajectory tracking essential for object manipulation, and advancing the sensorization of soft robot joints for accurate and durable bending measurement. His research addresses critical challenges in practical implementation, bridging the gap between theoretical design and real-world application. With his most-cited paper, "A Method for Sensing Passive Joints of Robotic Extra Fingers for Trajectory Tracking" (2024), accumulating 4 citations, and his 2025 work on soft joint sensorization already gaining attention, Mugnaini is establishing a strong foundation for impactful contributions. His innovative approach to affordable, robust sensing promises to significantly improve the reliability and accessibility of assistive and soft robotic technologies.
