Overview
Marcello Chiurazzi is the CEO of AuraSensae, based in Florence. He has held that role since May 2024, having previously been the company's chief technology officer from October 2019.
His work at AuraSensae ran alongside a series of positions at Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna, where he was a research assistant from February 2017 to May 2021, a postdoctoral researcher from May 2021 to March 2022, and an assistant professor from March 2022 until May 2024. Before that he was an associate researcher at Ceit-IK4 during 2016, and spent part of 2015 at the TUM Graduate School.
He completed a doctorate in biorobotics at Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna between 2018 and 2022. He holds a laurea specialistica in bioengineering and biomedical engineering from Università Campus Bio-Medico di Roma, obtained between 2013 and 2015, and a bachelor of engineering in biomedical engineering from Università Federico II di Napoli, completed between 2009 and 2013.
Career history
In the news
- Proud to see how strongly the market reacted to AuraSensae technology at Automate Show. What impressed me most was not only the interest in a new safety solution, but the recognition of a different approach: safety should adapt to people and enable collaboration, rather than limiting it. Robots must become increasingly aware of the human presence around them, responding dynamically and safely without sacrificing productivity or flexibility. This is the vision we are building at AuraSensae, and the conversations we had in Chicago
- At Automate Show, together with Andrea and ABB Robotics, we had the opportunity to discuss a topic that I believe will be central for the future of robotics. Human-robot collaboration cannot scale only through smarter robots. It will scale when robots become able to react to human presence in real time, safely and naturally. This is why, at AuraSensae, we often speak about reflex rather than perception. Perception is about understanding the environment. Reflex is about reacting immediately, with low computational effort, exactly
- Some moments in a company’s journey are difficult to describe with technical words alone. Seeing AuraSensae technology integrated into an ABB GoFa™ demo at Automate Show was one of them. For us, this was much more than a demonstration of intelligent proximity sensing applied to collaborative robotics. It was a powerful confirmation that the vision we have been building, step by step, is becoming real. Over the past few days, I had the privilege of sharing what my team and I are creating with the ABB Robotics team, partners,
