About
N. Alberto Borghese is a distinguished Italian computer scientist and researcher whose work spans human movement analysis, assistive robotics, and intelligent systems for elder care. Over more than three decades, his research has made meaningful contributions at the intersection of rehabilitation engineering, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence. His early work on the ELITE motion capture system (1991) laid foundational groundwork in real-time movement monitoring, while his subsequent research on upper extremity coordination bridged the gap between clinicians, engineers, and neuroscientists — a paper that has garnered 66 citations and remains an important reference in rehabilitation science. Borghese's most impactful recent contributions center on the landmark MoveCare project, a European initiative integrating social assistive robots, IoT systems, and smart home technologies to support independently living elderly individuals. This body of work — spanning frailty monitoring, robot autonomy, cognitive impairment detection, and user acceptability — reflects both technical ingenuity and deep human-centered design thinking, collectively accumulating over 180 citations. His research addresses one of society's most pressing challenges: enabling aging populations to live safely and independently at home. Students exploring human-robot interaction, ambient assisted living, or rehabilitation technology will find his prolific portfolio an essential reference point.
