About

Giulia Bodo is a rising researcher in the field of rehabilitation robotics, with a focused expertise in designing safe, compliant, and controllable robotic systems for human interaction. Her primary research areas include series elastic actuators, exoskeleton control, and human-robot interaction, with a specific emphasis on upper limb rehabilitation. Bodo’s major contributions are centered on improving the safety and efficacy of robotic-mediated therapy. Her most cited work, "Customized Series Elastic Actuator for a Safe and Compliant Human-Robot Interaction" (2023, 7 citations), proposes novel actuator designs that ensure safer physical interaction between patients and machines. She has also advanced the field by addressing fundamental control challenges, as seen in her comparative analysis of inverse kinematics methodologies (2022, 3 citations) and her development of rapid control prototyping approaches for exoskeletons (2024, 3 citations). By tackling both hardware design and software control, Bodo is helping to bridge the gap between theoretical robotics and practical, patient-ready rehabilitation devices, making her work increasingly relevant to the future of assistive technology.
