About

Tommaso Lisini Baldi is a researcher at the forefront of human augmentation, wearable robotics, and haptic interfaces, whose work spans some of the most transformative frontiers in human-robot interaction. His research portfolio reflects a coherent vision: expanding and restoring human sensorimotor capabilities through intelligent wearable systems. His highly cited 2021 review on supernumerary robotic limbs (102 citations) established a foundational reference for the field, while his work on the GESTO glove (94 citations) demonstrated elegant integration of inertial and magnetic sensing for hand tracking and cutaneous feedback. Baldi has made significant contributions to rehabilitation robotics, including the design of hand and wrist exoskeletons that autonomously guide physiotherapy — work that has collectively garnered hundreds of citations and holds considerable clinical promise. His exploration of motor augmentation through EMG-based null-space control and neurophysiological evidence for new corticospinal synergies with robotic extra fingers reveals a deep engagement with neuroscience alongside engineering. More recently, his work on the Avatarm project bridges physical and virtual realities through diminished reality and haptics. With over 460 total citations across a decade of research, Baldi represents a distinctive voice connecting neuroscience, rehabilitation, and cutting-edge augmentation technology.
