About
Dr. Marco Canesi is a leading figure in the field of soft wearable robotics, with a primary focus on the design and control of assistive exosuits. His most impactful work tackles a fundamental challenge in the field: the trade-off between a device's functionality and its bulk. In his highly cited 2019 paper, "Design and Validation of a Modular One-To-Many Actuator for a Soft Wearable Exosuit," Canesi introduced a novel paradigm for underactuation. Rather than limiting a device's movement, his modular actuator system allows a single power source to intelligently drive multiple joints, dramatically reducing the size, weight, and power consumption of the exosuit. This contribution, which has garnered 40 citations, is critical for moving soft robots from the lab into practical, everyday use. By solving the scaling problem of active degrees of freedom, Canesi’s work paves the way for lighter, more efficient, and truly wearable assistive technologies, marking him as a key innovator in making human augmentation both practical and unobtrusive.
