Carloni, Prof. Raffaella
Raffaella Carloni is Professor of Robotics. Her research group Human-Centered Robotics focuses on the fundamental methodologies and cutting-edge technologies that enable intelligent robotics to seamlessly operate in complex, dynamic environments. Carloni studied electrical engineering at the University of Bologna, where she also received her PhD.
Carloni’s research interests include designing, modelling, and controlling compliant robotic systems, novel soft actuators, and prosthetic devices. One of the projects that gained a lot of attention was a bionic leg that helped people move naturally and without thinking, even in difficult environments such as hilly terrain. Carloni was nominated for the 2025 Klokhuis Science Prize for this invention. She said the following about the project: ‘It’s hard to walk normally when you’re missing a lower leg. You have to think about it constantly, which means you cannot casually walk up a hill, for example. I’m working on designing a bionic leg that can move just like a regular leg. The parts work in the same way as your muscles and bones. You’re not walking like a robot, but like someone who still actually has two legs. You no longer have to think about the fact that you have a prosthesis and you can just move about and do fun things.’
In 2024, Carloni won the Ben Feringa Impact Award in the Researchers category with her project ‘MyLeg’.
