About

Matteo Tanzini is a robotics researcher whose work bridges human-machine interaction, control systems, and inclusive design for industrial applications. His research focuses on developing intuitive interfaces and autonomous functionalities for heavy machinery, from hydraulic demolition machines to forklifts. Tanzini’s most cited work, "A novel human-machine interface for working machines operation" (2013, 13 citations), explores how semi-autonomous systems and advanced HMI technologies can simplify complex tasks in construction and industrial settings. He further advanced teleoperation with "Embedded Architecture of a Hydraulic Demolition Machine for Robotic Teleoperation in the Construction Sector" (2018, 4 citations), addressing the limitations of traditional control pads. Tanzini also contributed to robotics education with "A novel control strategy for youBot arm" (2016, 6 citations), demonstrating low-cost platforms for testing robotic functionalities. Notably, his work "A novel forklift solution for promoting occupational re-integration of disabled people" (2014, 2 citations) showcases a socially impactful application, designing customized lift machinery to enable paraplegic individuals to work as forklift operators. Through these contributions, Tanzini demonstrates a commitment to making industrial robotics safer, more accessible, and more inclusive.
