About

Riccardo Iandolo is a leading researcher at the intersection of rehabilitation robotics and human sensorimotor control. His primary contributions lie in advancing robotic neurorehabilitation, where he explores how robotic devices can both assess and restore motor function following neurological injury. Iandolo’s most impactful work, “Perspectives and Challenges in Robotic Neurorehabilitation” (2019), has garnered over 120 citations, establishing a foundational roadmap for the field by highlighting how cost-effective, novel technologies are transforming clinical practice. He has also made significant strides in understanding proprioception—the body’s sense of limb position. In his 2014 study, Iandolo critically examined whether testing proprioception in intrinsic versus extrinsic coordinate systems yields different results, addressing a key gap in clinical assessment protocols. His 2018 work further bridges assessment and therapy by introducing robotic techniques for both diagnosing proprioceptive deficits and delivering targeted training. Through these contributions, Iandolo is helping to shape a future where robots not only measure recovery with precision but also actively guide rehabilitation, making his research essential for students and clinicians working at the cutting edge of neurorehabilitation technology.
