About
Stefano Dalla Gasperina is a robotics and biomedical engineering researcher whose work sits at the intersection of rehabilitation robotics, human-robot interaction, and neurotechnology. His research is primarily focused on developing advanced exoskeleton systems and control strategies for upper-limb rehabilitation, particularly for stroke survivors and individuals with neurological conditions. Dalla Gasperina's most influential contribution is his comprehensive 2021 review of patient-cooperative control strategies for upper-limb rehabilitation exoskeletons (104 citations), which has become a key reference in the field. He has played a central role in the design and clinical translation of the AGREE exoskeleton — a compliant, adaptable robotic platform tailored for personalized post-stroke therapy — spanning mechatronic design, cooperative control, and digital twin development. His work on hybrid robotic systems that integrate functional electrical stimulation with robotic assistance (48 citations) represents a particularly innovative direction, combining neuromuscular stimulation with mechanical support to maximize motor recovery outcomes. Across his publications, Dalla Gasperina consistently addresses real-world clinical challenges: transparency control, inverse kinematics under anatomical constraints, and EMG-based validation of rehabilitation modalities. With over 250 cumulative citations, his body of work meaningfully advances the goal of making robotic neurorehabilitation more effective, personalized, and clinically deployable.
