About
Tommaso Proietti is a prominent researcher in wearable robotics and neurorehabilitation engineering, whose work has shaped the development of soft robotic exoskeletons for both clinical and industrial applications. His highly cited 2016 review on control strategies for upper-limb robotic exoskeletons (383 citations) established a foundational framework for the field, critically examining why robot-mediated therapy had yet to surpass conventional rehabilitation in qualitative outcomes. This analytical perspective drove his subsequent innovations in soft, inflatable wearable systems designed to be lightweight, portable, and practical for real-world use. Proietti's research spans stroke rehabilitation, neurodegenerative conditions such as ALS, and occupational injury prevention, demonstrating remarkable breadth. His inflatable soft robots for reducing therapist fatigue, restoring arm function in ALS patients, and assisting industrial workers during overhead tasks collectively reflect a consistent vision: making robotic assistance genuinely accessible and effective beyond the laboratory. His 2023 work on portable wearables for ALS patients (89 citations) and a 2024 industrial shoulder-assist robot (75 citations) signal his growing impact across healthcare and workplace safety domains. With cumulative citations exceeding 975 across his top works, Proietti stands as a leading voice bridging human motor rehabilitation, soft robotics design, and adaptive control engineering.
