Abstract

This seminar will cover a selection of research activities carried out by Marco Controzzi. His research interest concerns the design and development of advanced artificial hands to be used as thought-controlled prostheses and to be used as smart end-effectors for a new generation of robotic systems that will be able to cooperate and support humans in a wide range of activities.
