Research Summary
Edoardo Battaglia leads the Human-Centered Haptics And Robotics (h-CHAR) Lab. His research focuses on the design of haptic interfaces, robotics and sensing systems to enable and augment human users, following a design philosophy that keeps the user in mind from the beginning and aims to build devices that are not just functional, but also easy to interact with.
Biography
Edoardo Battaglia joined the Mechanical Engineering Department of University of Utah as an Assistant Professor in 2022. He is a Core Faculty in the University of Utah Robotics Center. He received his bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering and his master degree in Robotics and Automation Engineering at University of Pisa, in 2009 and 2013 respectively. He received his PhD in Information Engineering (Robotics Track) from University of Pisa in 2018. Before joining the U he was Postdoctoral Fellow in the Human-Enabled Robotic Technology Laboratory lab (HeroLab) at the University of Texas at Austin. His research interests include design and validation of haptic interfaces, mathematical modeling of the sense of touch and human manipulation and user-centered medical robotics and human-robot interaction.
