About

Michele Maimeri is a robotics researcher whose work focuses on advancing human-robot interaction through intuitive control systems. His key research areas include shared-autonomy control, bimanual tele-manipulation, and electromyographic (sEMG) signal processing for prosthetics and supernumerary limbs. Maimeri’s most cited work, “Shared-Autonomy Control for Intuitive Bimanual Tele-Manipulation” (2018, 55 citations), addresses a critical challenge in dual-arm teleoperation: moving beyond rigid one-to-one coupling to enable more natural, dexterous control during complex tasks. This contribution has significant implications for remote surgery and hazardous environment operations. In his 2019 study on multi-channel sEMG-driven prostheses (12 citations), Maimeri tackled the practical limitations of proportional and simultaneous control algorithms, proposing design maps that reduce the high number of required electromyographic features. Demonstrating a commitment to real-world impact, he also led the “LHF Connect” project (2020, 7 citations), an open-source DIY telepresence robot developed during the COVID-19 pandemic to facilitate communication between isolated patients and their families. This work highlights Maimeri’s ability to translate cutting-edge research into accessible, humanitarian solutions.
