About

Simone Corbellini’s research sits at the dynamic intersection of materials science and robotics, with a core focus on developing flexible, piezoresistive composites for tactile sensing. His most influential work, the 2013 paper “Piezoresistive flexible composite for robotic tactile applications,” has garnered 115 citations, establishing him as a key contributor to soft robotics and electronic skin technology. In a companion study, also from 2013, Corbellini introduced a smart piezoresistive tunnelling composite—a highly flexible tactile device fabricated using a simple, efficient microcasting technique. This innovation produced a self-standing sheet of functional metal-elastomer material, enabling robust, large-area robotic sensing skins. His contributions have advanced the practical realization of flexible, durable tactile sensors that can conform to complex surfaces, a critical step toward more dexterous and safe human-robot interaction. Corbellini’s work is particularly notable for its emphasis on scalable fabrication methods, bridging the gap between laboratory prototypes and real-world robotic applications. His research continues to inspire new avenues in wearable electronics and intelligent prosthetics, where compliant, sensitive touch interfaces are essential.
