About
Giorgio Carpino is a leading researcher in assistive and rehabilitation robotics, with a focus on developing safe, compliant actuation systems for wearable robots. His work centers on series elastic actuators (SEAs) and variable impedance mechanisms that enhance human-robot interaction by introducing intrinsic compliance, improving both safety and dynamical adaptability. Carpino’s major contributions include the design and characterization of compact rotary SEAs for knee assistance during overground walking and a novel high-power SEA for lower limb orthoses, with key papers garnering 129, 92, and 70 citations respectively. He also advanced non-anthropomorphic robot designs, such as the “Robomorphism” platform, to improve ergonomics and dynamic performance. Beyond hardware, Carpino has conducted impactful meta-analyses on robot-mediated lower limb rehabilitation (76 citations) and systematic reviews on affordable robotics for upper limb stroke rehabilitation in developing countries (81 citations), addressing critical global health disparities. His work on double actuation architectures for variable impedance rendering (107 citations) further underscores his influence. Carpino’s research bridges engineering innovation and clinical application, making rehabilitation robotics more accessible and effective worldwide.
