About

Enrica Tricomi is a leading researcher in the field of soft wearable robotics, dedicated to enhancing human mobility and endurance through intelligent exosuit technology. Her work focuses on developing lightweight, comfortable assistive devices that seamlessly integrate with the human body to improve quality of life across diverse populations. Tricomi’s major contributions include pioneering the use of machine learning and computer vision to create context-aware control systems for these suits, enabling them to adapt support in real-time based on the user’s environment and activity. Her most cited work, a study on soft robotic shorts that improved outdoor walking efficiency in older adults (38 citations), demonstrates the profound impact of her research on age-related mobility challenges. She has also developed innovative solutions for individuals with multiple sclerosis to enhance upper limb endurance and for industrial workers to reduce muscle strain. With a growing body of work that has garnered over 100 citations, Tricomi is at the forefront of translating soft robotics from the lab into practical, life-changing applications for rehabilitation, assistance, and human augmentation.
