About
Marta Gandolla is a leading researcher at the intersection of rehabilitation robotics, wearable technology, and neural engineering, with a particular focus on developing and evaluating assistive and rehabilitative devices for neurological patients. Her work spans upper and lower limb exoskeletons, soft robotic exosuits, and intelligent control strategies, addressing critical challenges in post-stroke recovery and occupational health. Gandolla's most cited contribution, a 2022 systematic review on upper limb soft robotic wearable devices (131 citations), helped define the landscape of exosuit technology as a flexible, user-friendly alternative to rigid systems. Complementing this, her 2021 review on patient-cooperative control strategies (104 citations) advanced understanding of how robots can promote motor plasticity through adaptive, patient-driven rehabilitation. Her earlier work in EMG-based neural interfaces and artificial neural networks for hand grasp prediction (73 citations) demonstrated the practical potential of intention-decoding controllers for assistive devices. Gandolla also bridges neuroscience and robotics, using EEG to study neural engagement during robot-assisted movement (60 citations), and has extended her impact to industrial settings through IMU-based exoskeleton activity recognition (58 citations). Her development of the AGREE upper-limb exoskeleton and investigations into therapist acceptance further underscore her commitment to translating research into real-world clinical impact.
