About
Monica Tiboni is an Italian robotics researcher whose work sits at the intersection of rehabilitation engineering, wearable robotics, and human-robot interaction. Her research focuses primarily on the design, sensing, and control of assistive and rehabilitative robotic systems, with particular emphasis on upper limb devices including exoskeletons, soft gloves, and end-effector-based rehabilitation platforms. Tiboni has made significant contributions to the field through her comprehensive reviews and original device development. Her 2022 review of sensors and actuation technologies in exoskeletons has rapidly become a key reference in the field, accumulating 164 citations and offering researchers a foundational resource on human-robot interfacing. Complementing this, her reviews on soft gloves and hand rehabilitation exoskeletons further establish her as a leading voice in wearable assistive robotics. Beyond review work, she has pioneered EMG-driven robotic systems for elbow and hand rehabilitation, exploring how electromyographic signals can enable intuitive, patient-responsive therapy. Her multi-sensor validation frameworks for rehabilitation robots demonstrate a rigorous, clinically-oriented approach to device development. Earlier contributions in industrial robot calibration and robot selection methodologies round out a versatile research portfolio. With over 400 cumulative citations, Tiboni's work meaningfully bridges mechanical design, smart sensing, and real-world clinical application.
