China-Italy robotics cooperation takes shape in Pisa lab: Prof. Frisoli interview at Xinhua

PISA, Italy, May 29 (Xinhua) — At the Human-Robot Interaction Laboratory at Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies in Pisa, Italy, researchers are testing an exoskeleton device that converts human movement into data.

For Antonio Frisoli, a professor at Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies, the device reflects a broader goal: designing robots that work with people, rather than simply replacing them.

 

“Exoskeletons represent the highest level of symbiosis between humans and robots,” Frisoli said. Unlike traditional industrial robots, an exoskeleton is worn on the body and moves together with the user. “It has to adapt to the body and make the user feel safe and comfortable.”

Cristian Camardella, a researcher at the Institute of Mechanical Intelligence, said the laboratory develops rehabilitation robots, wearable robots and exoskeletons, as well as haptic feedback and teleoperation technologies that allow users to feel or remotely control actions.
