About

Guido Pasquini is a leading researcher in wearable robotics, with a focus on developing intelligent control systems for lower-limb prostheses and orthoses. His work spans gait phase detection, physical human-robot interaction, and ergonomic assessment of exoskeletons, aiming to restore mobility and independence for individuals with motor impairments. Pasquini’s most-cited paper, “Online Phase Detection Using Wearable Sensors for Walking with a Robotic Prosthesis” (122 citations), introduces a gait phase algorithm that leverages sensorized insoles and inertial measurement units to provide real-time feedback for robotic prostheses, a foundational contribution to the field. He further advanced assistive control with a novel adaptive oscillators-based strategy for multi-joint lower-limb orthoses (26 citations), enabling physiologically consistent assistance without complex sensory apparatus. His work on whole body awareness for controlling robotic transfemoral prostheses (28 citations) and EMG-based control of a robotic hip exoskeleton (15 citations) demonstrates his commitment to intuitive, user-centered design. Pasquini also explores pediatric applications, including a kinematics-based hand exoskeleton prototype (16 citations). With over 260 total citations, his research is instrumental in shaping safe, ergonomic, and effective wearable robotic systems for clinical and daily-life use.
