About

Marta Lagomarsino is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Human-Robot Interfaces and Interaction (HRII) Laboratory of Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia. She completed her PhD in 2023, obtaining the diploma cum Laude from the Electronic, Information and Bioengineering Department of Politecnico di Milano in collaboration with the HRII lab. She received her Master's Degree in Robotics Engineering in 2020 and her Bachelor's Degree in Biomedical Engineering in 2018, both with honours from the University of Genoa. She spent a semester at the University of Twente (Enschede, Netherlands), and her Master's thesis project was awarded by GNB and UBCM di Roma. She was honoured as the Most Promising Researcher in Robotics and AI (RomeCup2023) during her PhD and received the AI and Robotics mention of the Solution Award 2025 (MECSPE2025). She has contributed to the Horizon-2020 project SOPHIA and the ERC project Ergo-Lean, and is involved in the Horizon Europe project TORNADO, the National INAIL project VIVA, the INAIL BRIC grant CoRoMan, and technology transfer initiatives with industrial partners. She is currently an Associate Editor for IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters. Her research interests include human ergonomics estimation and assessment, socio-physical human-robot interaction, and mutual human-robot adaptation.
