About

Mauro Missori is a leading researcher in the fields of flexible nanocomposites, optical sensing, and bio-inspired robotics. His major contributions center on the development of novel materials and sensors that integrate plasmonic resonators into flexible polymer matrices, enabling all-optical tactile sensing capabilities. His most-cited work, "Flexible nanocomposites with all-optical tactile sensing capability" (2013, 23 citations), demonstrates how gold nanoparticles embedded in polydimethylsiloxane can efficiently couple light, paving the way for soft, deformable optical sensors. Missori further advanced robotic perception with his "Characterization of an innovative like-eye sensor for feature detection and robot sensing" (2014, 13 citations), which mimics the human eye's structure for enhanced feature detection. His research bridges materials science and robotics, offering transformative solutions for tactile sensing in soft robotics and human-machine interfaces. With a focus on practical, scalable technologies, Missori's work has garnered attention for its potential to revolutionize sensory systems in flexible electronics and autonomous systems.
