About
Simone Ungaro is a leading researcher at the intersection of rehabilitation robotics and assistive technology, with a primary focus on developing innovative robotic systems for motor recovery. Her most significant contribution is the design and development of the **hunova®** robot, a novel platform for core, balance, and lower limb rehabilitation. This work, detailed in her highly cited 2019 paper (54 citations), addresses a critical gap in rehabilitation by integrating hardware and software to target postural control and lower extremity function. Ungaro’s research not only advances technical design—covering sensors, actuators, and control algorithms—but also validates clinical efficacy through rigorous studies. Beyond engineering, she excels in technology transfer, as shown in her case study on Movendo Technology, which demonstrates how hunova® transitioned from lab to market. Her work has direct impact on patients with neurological or orthopedic conditions, offering personalized, data-driven therapy. With a growing citation record and a focus on translational research, Ungaro is shaping the future of robotic rehabilitation, making her a key figure for students and researchers interested in human-robot interaction and clinical innovation.
