About
Francesco Buonamici is a researcher whose work spans the intersecting fields of wearable robotics, rehabilitation engineering, soft robotics, and emerging industrial technologies. His most significant contributions center on the design and development of hand exoskeleton systems for assistive and rehabilitative purposes, with his 2021 paper on wearable hand exoskeletons accumulating 37 citations — reflecting the growing importance of accessible, home-based rehabilitation solutions for individuals with motor disabilities. This work builds upon his earlier efforts, including a 2016 study optimizing flexion/extension mechanisms for hand exoskeletons and a 2020 paper introducing a novel fully wearable assistive architecture, both garnering 9 citations respectively. Beyond rigid robotic systems, Buonamici has ventured into the realm of soft robotics, characterizing the fatigue behavior of 3D-printed pneumatic elastomer actuators — a timely contribution given the surge of interest in flexible, adaptive robotic systems. More recently, his research has expanded into Industry 4.0 applications, exploring how artificial intelligence and augmented reality can be integrated for textile defect detection. Together, his body of work demonstrates a versatile and forward-thinking research profile at the intersection of human-centered robotics and advanced manufacturing technologies.
