About us

The Soft Robotic Systems and Control Lab, led by Prof. Gianluca Rizzello, focuses on the development of soft robotic systems and artificial muscles. The research covers various aspects of these systems, from design and manufacturing to the development of mathematical models and intelligent algorithms for control and motion estimation.  Our research bridges the gap between theory and practice, enabling novel solutions for the next generation of intelligent robotics and mechatronics systems. 

Our research & teaching activities are focused on the following areas:

  • Soft Robotics
  • Soft Actuators
  • Motion Control Systemes
  • Energy Harvesting
