About
Dr. Paola Pessia is a leading researcher in the fields of biomechatronics, haptic sensing, and human-machine interaction, with a particular focus on understanding and replicating human sensory-motor control. Her most notable contribution is the development and evaluation of pressure capacitive sensors for analyzing human grasping and manipulation. Her seminal 2017 work, which has garnered 7 citations, provides a critical framework for instrumenting objects to measure interaction forces, directly advancing the design of more lifelike prosthetic and robotic hands. By bridging the gap between human dexterity and artificial systems, Dr. Pessia’s research offers essential tools for investigating how we grip and manipulate objects, with profound implications for rehabilitation engineering and biorobotics. Her work stands as a foundational reference for engineers and neuroscientists alike, driving innovation in assistive technologies and our fundamental understanding of touch.
