About
Angelo Davalli is a leading figure in rehabilitation robotics, whose work bridges the critical gap between advanced prosthetic technology and the real-world needs of amputees. His research focuses on the user-centered design of powered lower-limb prostheses, intelligent control systems for prosthetic hands, and intuitive human-machine interfaces. Davalli’s most impactful contribution is a landmark survey of transfemoral amputee experiences (38 citations), which directly informs the design of powered robotic legs by prioritizing user comfort and functional needs. He has also pioneered multilevel control strategies for anthropomorphic prosthetic hands to prevent object slippage, and developed innovative classification algorithms using a single inertial sensor to predict locomotion activities—a breakthrough that reduces the need for bulky, multi-sensor setups. His work on underactuated active transfemoral prostheses with series elastic actuators demonstrates a novel approach to achieving lightweight, energy-efficient devices capable of multiple locomotion tasks. By integrating user feedback with cutting-edge robotics, Davalli’s research is shaping the next generation of assistive technologies that are both highly functional and genuinely responsive to human factors.
