About
Cinzia Amici is a prominent robotics researcher whose work bridges human-robot interaction, rehabilitation engineering, and assistive technologies. Her research spans several interconnected domains, including wearable robotic systems, exoskeletons, soft robotics, and autonomous vehicles for healthcare — areas in which she has established herself as a leading voice in the international scientific community. Amici's most influential contributions include a comprehensive review of sensors and actuation technologies in exoskeletons (164 citations), which has become an essential reference for engineers and clinicians alike, and a widely cited examination of social robots in healthcare settings (86 citations) that maps the technological landscape for nursing and clinical applications. Her work on soft gloves (35 citations) and hand rehabilitation exoskeletons (31 citations) further demonstrates her commitment to translating robotics research into tangible therapeutic tools. Earlier in her career, Amici made foundational contributions to parallel kinematic machine design, developing compliant mesomanipulators for finger rehabilitation — work that laid the mechanical groundwork for her later clinical applications. Her multi-sensor validation studies of rehabilitation robots reflect a rigorous, patient-centered methodology that strengthens the credibility of robotic rehabilitation as a discipline. Collectively, her publications signal both scientific depth and genuine humanitarian purpose.
