About
Stefano Targher’s research centers on human-robot interaction, assistive robotics, and sensory feedback systems, with a particular focus on enhancing mobility and autonomy for older adults. His major contribution lies in developing intuitive guidance methods for robotic walking assistants, notably through comparative studies of haptic and acoustic stimuli. In his most cited work, “Sensory stimulation for human guidance in robot walkers: A comparison between haptic and acoustic solutions” (2016, 6 citations), Targher demonstrated how tactile or sound-based cues can effectively steer users along safe paths while preserving their sense of agency. This work is foundational for designing non-intrusive, user-friendly assistive devices that respect the user’s decision-making. Targher’s research bridges engineering and gerontechnology, offering practical solutions for aging populations. His achievements include advancing the c-Walker platform, a robotic walker that integrates sensory guidance to reduce fall risk and improve navigation. Though his citation count is modest, his work is highly relevant in the growing field of assistive robotics, providing a blueprint for future human-centered guidance systems.
