About
Diego Casas-Bocanegra is a leading researcher in rehabilitation robotics, specializing in the development of wearable robotic systems to restore mobility and improve quality of life for individuals with neurological impairments. His work spans lower-limb exoskeletons, soft robotics for social interaction, and cable-driven assistive devices. Casas-Bocanegra’s most cited work, the "AGoRA Exoskeleton" (2018, 46 citations), introduces a robotic lower-limb exoskeleton for gait rehabilitation in stroke survivors, addressing a critical need for millions affected by physical impairment. He further advances the field with an open-source social robot (2020, 36 citations) that leverages compliant soft robotics to enhance therapy for children with autism spectrum disorder, improving communication and social engagement. His recent contributions include a cable-driven exosuit (2024) for upper-limb hemiparesis and variable stiffness actuators (2021) for adaptive gait training. By integrating compliant, user-friendly designs with rigorous engineering, Casas-Bocanegra’s research bridges robotics and clinical therapy, offering scalable solutions for post-stroke rehabilitation and pediatric care. His work is widely cited for its practical impact on assistive technology.
