Soft-sensor system for grasp type recognition in underactuated hand prostheses (2023)
Journal Article

This paper presents the development of an intelligent soft-sensor system to add haptic perception to the underactuated hand prosthesis PrHand. Two sensors based on optical fiber were constructed, one for finger joint angles and the other for fingerti...

Do different robot appearances change emotion recognition in children with ASD? (2023)
Journal Article

Introduction: Socially Assistive Robotics has emerged as a potential tool for rehabilitating cognitive and developmental disorders in children with autism. Social robots found in the literature are often able to teach critical social skills, such as... Read More about Do different robot appearances change emotion recognition in children with ASD?.

Biomechanical effects of adding an ankle soft actuation in a unilateral exoskeleton (2022)
Journal Article

Stroke disease leads to a partial or complete disability affecting muscle strength and functional mobility. Early rehabilitation sessions might induce neuroplasticity and restore the affected function or structure of the patients. Robotic rehabilitat...

EEG evaluation in a neuropsychological intervention program based on virtual reality in adults with Parkinson’s disease (2022)
Journal Article

Nowadays, several strategies for treating neuropsychologic function loss in Parkinson’s disease (PD) have been proposed, such as physical activity performance and developing games to exercise the mind. However, few studies illustrate the incidence of... Read More about EEG evaluation in a neuropsychological intervention program based on virtual reality in adults with Parkinson’s disease.

Predicting perceived exhaustion in rehabilitation exercises using facial action units (2022)
Journal Article

Physical exercise has become an essential tool for treating various non-communicable diseases (also known as chronic diseases). Due to this, physical exercise allows to counter different symptoms and reduce some risk of death factors without medicati... Read More about Predicting perceived exhaustion in rehabilitation exercises using facial action units.

Assessment of soft actuators for hand exoskeletons: Pleated textile actuators and fiber-reinforced Silicone actuators (2022)
Journal Article

Soft robotic approaches have been trialed for rehabilitation or assistive hand exoskeletons using silicone or textile actuators because they have more tolerance for alignment with biological joints than rigid exoskeletons. Textile actuators have not... Read More about Assessment of soft actuators for hand exoskeletons: Pleated textile actuators and fiber-reinforced Silicone actuators.

Physical human-robot interaction influence in ASD therapy through an affordable soft social robot (2022)
Journal Article

In the latest years, there has been a rise in social robotics' interest as a support tool in various scopes. For instance, social robots have been used in Autism treatments, improving social skills, social interaction, and children's daily activities...
