About
Marco Pirini is a leading researcher at the intersection of neurorehabilitation, robotics, and smart environments. His work focuses on developing innovative technological solutions to address chronic neurological conditions, particularly through the integration of virtual reality, brain-computer interfaces (BCI), and smart home automation. Pirini’s major contributions include pioneering the use of mobile robots as embodied interfaces for BCI systems, as demonstrated in his 2009 study, which explored how physical robotic actions can enhance brain-driven communication. More recently, he has advanced the field with the OPERA project, introducing a bio-cooperative robotic platform for cognitive rehabilitation in Parkinson’s disease and mild cognitive impairment, integrating service robots with VR-based therapies. His 2024 pilot study protocol on smart home and building automation for neurorehabilitation further underscores his commitment to creating accessible, real-world rehabilitation environments. With over 9 citations across his key works, Pirini’s research is gaining traction for its user-centered, interdisciplinary approach. His notable achievements include leading living lab evaluations and focus groups that prioritize patient and clinician feedback, ensuring his technologies are both effective and engaging. Pirini’s work promises to transform how chronic disabilities are managed, blending cutting-edge robotics with practical, home-based solutions.
