About

R. Gasseri is a leading figure in the development of MRI-compatible robotic and haptic technologies, with a primary focus on force/torque sensing and haptic interfaces for neuroscientific and interventional applications. His seminal 2005 paper, "Design of a simple MRI/fMRI compatible force/torque sensor," which has garnered 64 citations, introduced a groundbreaking approach to creating sensors that function reliably within the intense magnetic fields of MRI environments. This work laid the foundation for enabling precise force feedback in haptic devices used during functional MRI studies, allowing researchers to investigate sensorimotor neural processes with unprecedented accuracy. Gasseri’s contributions extend to the design of robotic tools for interventional MRI, where his sensor innovations facilitate safer and more effective minimally invasive procedures. By addressing the critical challenge of compatibility between mechanical sensors and magnetic resonance imaging, his research has significantly advanced the fields of neuroscience, rehabilitation robotics, and image-guided surgery, establishing him as a key innovator in bridging robotics with medical imaging.
