About

Laura Sbernini is a leading figure in the development and application of low-cost, high-impact sensing technologies, with a primary focus on resistive flex sensors and their integration into wearable systems. Her most cited work, the 2015 survey "Resistive flex sensors: a survey" (173 citations), has become a foundational reference in the field, systematically cataloging the principles, design, and diverse applications of these lightweight, robust, and power-efficient sensors. Sbernini’s major contribution lies in demonstrating how these accessible devices can effectively measure bending and flexing, enabling breakthroughs in human motion analysis, rehabilitation engineering, and human-robot interaction. Her research has significantly advanced the practical deployment of flexible sensors in real-world scenarios, from monitoring joint angles in physical therapy to enhancing the dexterity of soft robotic grippers. By bridging the gap between sensor theory and applied biomechanics, Sbernini has empowered researchers and engineers to create affordable, effective measurement systems. Her work continues to inspire innovations in wearable health monitors and interactive technologies, cementing her reputation as a key architect of accessible, sensor-driven solutions for human-centric applications.
