About
Mattia Pinardi is a leading researcher in human movement augmentation and neurorobotics, whose work focuses on expanding human motor capabilities through supernumerary robotic limbs (SRLs) and advanced brain stimulation technologies. His major contributions lie in developing novel sensory feedback systems that enable users to intuitively control and embody additional robotic appendages, effectively allowing humans to perform trimanual tasks. Pinardi’s most cited work includes the development and validation of a robotic system for Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), which introduced a groundbreaking calibration methodology and control approach for robot-aided neuromodulation (36 citations). He has pioneered proprioceptive feedback systems that translate robotic limb states into vibrotactile stimulation, significantly improving user control and embodiment. His research on sensory confirmation and the sensorimotor loop has provided critical insights into how humans integrate artificial limbs into their body schema. With multiple papers accumulating over 25 citations each, Pinardi’s work has demonstrated that supplementary sensory feedback—particularly vibrotactile and joint angle feedback—substantially enhances performance in complex multi-limb coordination tasks. His ongoing investigations into 3-coupled trimanual tasks represent the cutting edge of human augmentation, pushing the boundaries of what the human motor system can achieve when paired with intelligent robotic interfaces.
