About
Emilio Trigili is a leading researcher in the field of rehabilitation and assistive robotics, with a primary focus on developing intelligent, user-controlled exoskeletons for individuals with motor impairments, particularly those resulting from stroke. His work sits at the critical intersection of human intention detection and robotic actuation, aiming to restore functional independence in activities of daily living. Trigili’s major contributions include pioneering the use of surface electromyographic (sEMG) signals for movement onset detection in upper-limb exoskeletons, a foundational paper with over 155 citations. He has also demonstrated the clinical viability of hybrid brain/neural interfaces, showing how EEG and EOG signals can control a whole-arm exoskeleton to help chronic stroke survivors perform tasks like eating and drinking. His work on the NESM-γ exoskeleton, featuring compliant series elastic actuators for safe clinical deployment, represents a significant step toward practical rehabilitation platforms. With a highly cited body of work (including papers with 155, 69, and 64 citations), Trigili’s research is characterized by a seamless integration of ergonomic design, advanced control algorithms, and rigorous clinical validation, positioning him as a key figure in translating wearable robotic technology from the lab to real-world patient benefit.
