About

Maurizio Mor is a mechanical engineer and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of robotics, rehabilitation technology, and human-robot interaction. His research focuses primarily on the design and development of robotic devices for medical rehabilitation and industrial exoskeletons, with a particular emphasis on translating engineering innovation into clinically and practically meaningful solutions. Mor's most influential contribution is his work on Gloreha, a hand robotic rehabilitation device developed for stroke patients, which has garnered 141 citations and stands as a landmark effort to address critical gaps in hand rehabilitation robotics. This work demonstrated both rigorous mechanical modeling and experimental validation, helping to shape the trajectory of robotic hand therapy. His earlier compliant hand rehabilitation device (2014) laid important groundwork by prioritizing patient safety through structural elasticity and smooth kinematics. Beyond rehabilitation, Mor has made notable contributions to industrial exoskeleton design, exploring transparency, ergonomics, and human-robot collaboration for heavy manipulation tasks. His more recent work addresses usability and regulatory compatibility in medical device design, reflecting a maturing perspective on responsible engineering. Collectively, his publications have accumulated over 200 citations, underscoring his meaningful and growing influence in assistive and rehabilitative robotics.
