About
Michele Mastella is a researcher at the forefront of bio-inspired tactile sensing and neuromorphic materials for soft robotics and prosthetics. His work centers on developing skin-inspired flexible sensors and artificial neural architectures that mimic the human somatosensory system. Mastella’s major contributions include the design of stretchable electrospun carbon nanofiber sensors that enable neuromorphic sensing for real-time motion monitoring and next-generation robotic devices—a paper that has garnered 28 citations since 2022. He also pioneered artificial bio-inspired tactile receptive fields that allow robots and hand prostheses to classify edge orientations from raw sensor data, a critical capability for object discrimination and dexterous manipulation. This work, cited 7 times, demonstrates how tactile information can be processed in a manner analogous to biological touch. Mastella’s research bridges materials science, flexible electronics, and computational neuroscience, offering scalable solutions for wearable health monitors and intelligent robotic systems. His achievements highlight a commitment to creating truly tactile machines that can interact safely and intuitively with the physical world.
