About
Domenico Campolo is a versatile robotics researcher whose work spans human-robot interaction, rehabilitation engineering, soft robotics, and biomimetic systems. Based at Nanyang Technological University, he has built a distinguished career bridging fundamental motor control science with practical robotic applications. Campolo's contributions to physical human-robot interaction are particularly influential, most notably his application of differential game theory to model collaborative dynamics, which has garnered 131 citations. His pioneering work on robotic manipulanda, including the H-Man platform, has advanced understanding of human motor control and upper limb proprioception, with his research on stroke rehabilitation and aging populations helping to shape evidence-based robotic therapy protocols. His randomized controlled trials and reviews of robot-assisted stroke rehabilitation reflect a sustained commitment to translating engineering insights into clinical benefit. More recently, Campolo has emerged as a leading voice in soft robotics, with highly cited reviews and original designs for 3D-printed smart grippers combining adaptive sensing and variable stiffness, accumulating over 180 citations since 2022. His early work on flapping-wing micro aerial vehicles and vibrotactile wearable interfaces further demonstrates his breadth. Collectively, his publications exceed 700 citations, reflecting a career defined by intellectual range and genuine interdisciplinary impact.
