The Siena Robotics and Systems Lab (SIRSLab) of the Department of Information Engineering and Mathematics (DIISM) of the University of Siena (UNISI) is one of the most active robotics laboratories in Europe, and its main focuses are haptics, wearables, and robotic manipulation.

The group has been working on robotics for more than 20 years, being always inspired by the idea that humans must be central in advancements of science and technology. The SIRSLab research team contributed to go beyond the state of the art in the field of multi-fingered robotic hands and of human-robot interaction with haptic feedback. New research areas have been pioneered, defining the concepts of wearable haptics, wearable supernumerary robotic fingers, and of underactuated robotic hands with synergies that are now well established fields in robotics.
