About
Marco Sacco is a leading researcher at the intersection of manufacturing digitalization and human-centric technologies, whose work bridges the gap between industrial automation and healthcare rehabilitation. His primary research areas include digital twin technology, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) middleware, virtual reality simulation, and human motor control. Sacco’s most influential contribution is his foundational work on synchronizing physical factories with their digital twins through IIoT middleware, a paper that has garnered 44 citations and addresses one of the most critical challenges in Industry 4.0 implementation. He has also made significant strides in exploiting factory telemetry for virtual reality simulations in robotics cells (36 citations), enabling more efficient manufacturing processes. Notably, Sacco’s research extends into biomedical engineering, where he has conducted detailed characterizations of physiological EMG activations during reaching movements (33 citations) and developed virtual reality systems for post-stroke rehabilitation. His work on event-driven integrative frameworks for manufacturing resource communication (28 citations) has advanced collaborative production systems. Through his dual focus on industrial efficiency and human rehabilitation, Sacco demonstrates how digital technologies can transform both factory floors and patient recovery, making him a versatile innovator in applied engineering research.
