Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoseph Delpreto is a research scientist at MIT CSAIL with 12 years of experience designing wearable sensors, embedded systems, and ML pipelines that bring AI into the physical world. His work spans human-robot collaboration, smart textiles, and deployable environmental sensors—projects range from teaching robots via biosignals and cooperative lifting to developing tags and acoustic modems for sperm whale research. He blends hardware design, real-time algorithms, and multimodal data collection to create plug-and-play biosignal systems that generalize across people and environments. A doctoral-trained roboticist and former Google X intern, he translates lab prototypes into field-ready instruments used in healthcare, underwater science, and assistive robotics. Off hours he pursues a surprising mix of physical skills—unicycling, archery, sailing and scuba—that mirror his research emphasis on embodied intelligence and pragmatic experimentation.
