Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavide Torielli is a robotics engineer and postdoctoral researcher with nine years of experience in humanoid and human-centred mechatronics, currently affiliated with Delft University of Technology after a multi-year research trajectory at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia. He holds a PhD in Bioengineering and Robotics from Università degli Studi di Genova and combines deep academic training with hands-on development and control of robotic end-effectors and grippers. His work spans experimental hardware—testing HERI hand, Pisa/IIT Soft Hand, and industrial grippers—and software control systems, bridging algorithmic design and real-world deployment. Davide has international research experience from an Erasmus+ Master thesis in Spain and a pattern of progressing from research fellow to PhD student to postdoc roles, showing strong continuity and growth. Based in Genoa with current ties to the Netherlands, he is comfortable operating at the intersection of humanoid robotics, mechatronics, and embedded control. A detail that sets him apart is his sustained focus on end-effector integration and practical validation on multiple robotic hands, highlighting a bias toward applied, test-driven research.
