My interests are centered in finding ways to improve physical human-robot interaction. I have been involved in several national and european projects, specially in the design and implementation of wearable, active exoskeletons for lower limb rehabilitation and assistance. I have designed and successfully implemented the low and high level controllers of the ALTACRO and CORBYS platforms, I also implemented a biocybernetic closed control algorithm that modulates the assistance of an active device, based on emotions assessment using autonomic nervous system feedback back in 2009 for my PhD.
