About
Giorgia Chini is a leading researcher at the intersection of occupational ergonomics, human-robot collaboration, and wearable robotics for Industry 4.0. Her work focuses on reducing work-related musculoskeletal diseases through innovative technologies that physically support workers during manual tasks. Chini’s most impactful contribution is the design and evaluation of the Shoulder-sideWINDER, an exoskeleton that compensates for joint misalignment between the shoulder and wearable systems—a critical advancement for worker comfort and safety, with 42 citations. She has also pioneered the use of dual-arm collaborative robots (cobots) like BAZAR to improve upper limb motor coordination during manual material handling, demonstrating measurable biomechanical benefits. Her interdisciplinary evaluations of physically collaborative robots, cited 11 times, challenge conventional human-robot interaction paradigms by advocating for contact-based collaboration over mere workspace sharing. Chini’s systematic review on motor performance indexes for workers with neuromuscular disorders (5 citations) underscores her commitment to inclusive workplace design. With additional contributions to biomechanical risk assessment using sensor data and NIOSH-based methods, Chini’s research provides actionable solutions for safer, more ergonomic industrial environments, directly impacting the future of work.
