About
Eugenio Capotorti is a leading researcher in the field of robotic rehabilitation, with a specific focus on hand and finger exoskeletons for post-traumatic recovery. His key research areas include the design of compliant, torque-controlled robotic devices and the integration of biosignal decoding for intuitive human-robot interaction. Capotorti’s major contributions center on the development of the HandeXos-gamma, a novel torque-controlled hand exoskeleton that combines surface electromyography (sEMG) with finger kinematics to decode hand movements—a feasibility study that has garnered 23 citations. He has also advanced kinematic compatibility in rehabilitation robotics with his work on a self-aligning finger exoskeleton for metacarpophalangeal joint mobilization, cited 19 times. Notably, his pilot study on post-traumatic hand rehabilitation using a powered metacarpal-phalangeal exoskeleton demonstrates the clinical translation of his work, showing promise for restoring range of motion and grip strength in patients with hand stiffness. With a growing citation impact and a focus on bridging robotic design with clinical needs, Capotorti is shaping the future of wearable rehabilitation technology.
