Bruno Scaglioni is R&D Director at Atlas Endoscopy, where he leads the development of next-generation robotic and intelligent endoscopic technologies aimed at transforming gastrointestinal diagnostics and minimally invasive procedures.
He holds a Ph.D. in Systems and Control Engineering from Politecnico di Milano, where his research focused on modelling, dynamics, and control of complex robotic systems. His expertise spans robotics, control engineering, and medical device innovation, with particular emphasis on autonomous and magnetically actuated robotic platforms for endoscopy.
Before joining Atlas Endoscopy, Scaglioni worked as a researcher at the STORM Lab (Surgical Technologies, Robotics and Mechatronics Laboratory) at the University of Leeds, contributing to pioneering work in surgical robotics and intelligent endoscopic systems. His research helped advance magnetically controlled robotic endoscopes designed to make procedures such as colonoscopy safer, less invasive, and more comfortable for patients.
Scaglioni has authored numerous peer-reviewed publications in robotics and medical engineering, with work covering autonomous surgical robotics, flexible robotic manipulators, and advanced control methods for magnetically actuated devices. His research has contributed to the growing field of intelligent medical robotics that integrates sensing, modelling, and machine autonomy.
At Atlas Endoscopy he focuses on translating cutting-edge academic research into clinically deployable technologies, helping bring innovative robotic endoscopy systems from laboratory development to real-world healthcare applications.
