About
Matteo Fantozzi is a leading researcher in wearable robotics, specializing in the design and control of exoskeletons and prostheses for human movement assistance and rehabilitation. His work centers on developing intelligent, physiologically consistent systems that restore natural gait and hand function. Fantozzi’s major contributions include pioneering adaptive oscillator-based control for lower-limb orthoses, enabling seamless assistance without complex sensors, and creating the HandeXos-gamma, a torque-controlled hand exoskeleton that decodes user intent by fusing sEMG signals with finger kinematics. He has also advanced low-power ankle-foot prostheses for push-off enhancement, addressing the critical need for net positive power in amputee gait. His research on series-elastic actuation (SEA) has been foundational, demonstrating its relevance across multiple platforms for compliant, safe human-robot interaction. With over 86 citations across his most-cited works, Fantozzi’s impact is evident in his development of portable, lightweight devices like the Portable Active Pelvis Orthosis, which supports ambulatory movement. His notable achievements include the design of a light-weight hip exoskeleton, underscoring his commitment to creating practical, accessible solutions for aging populations and individuals with gait disorders.
