About
Silvia Buratti is a leading researcher in the field of human-robot interaction and wearable robotics, with a particular focus on supernumerary robotic limbs—extra robotic arms designed to augment the physical capabilities of able-bodied individuals. Her work explores how these wearable devices can enhance human performance in contexts ranging from body support to surgical assistance. A key contribution is her study on the effect of vibrotactile feedback for controlling the interaction force of a supernumerary robotic arm, a 2023 paper that has already garnered 14 citations. This research addresses a critical challenge: when these limbs are worn, they naturally provide inherent feedback due to mechanical coupling with the human body, but Buratti investigates how artificial feedback can refine control and improve safety. Her work bridges engineering and neuroscience, offering insights into intuitive human-robot collaboration. With a growing citation record, Buratti is establishing herself as a rising voice in assistive and augmentative robotics, pushing the boundaries of how humans can seamlessly integrate with robotic extensions.
