About
Valeria Longatelli is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation robotics, focusing on the design and clinical application of robotic exoskeletons for post-stroke recovery. Her primary contributions center on the AGREE exoskeleton, a compliant-controlled upper-limb device that combines lightweight mechatronics with adaptive control to deliver personalized, high-dosage therapy. Longatelli’s work bridges engineering and clinical practice: she has developed cooperative human-robot interaction controllers that promote compliant motion and validated them through electromyography-based evaluations of gait and upper-limb training. Her research also advances standardized assessment methods, including a unified benchmarking scheme for upper-limb function in neurological disorders and instrumented evaluations using exoskeleton sensor networks. With her most-cited paper (44 citations) introducing the AGREE platform, and additional works on personalized rehabilitation and normative reference intervals, Longatelli has established a strong impact in the field. Her integrated approach—from mechatronic design to clinical study design—positions her as a key figure in translating robotic rehabilitation from bench to bedside, offering tangible tools for improving motor recovery in stroke survivors.
