About

Ismaylia Saucedo-Ugalde is a researcher specializing in human-robot physical interaction (HRpI) and haptic systems, with a focus on the design and control of robotic devices for kinesthetic feedback. Her work centers on the CyberForce haptic device, where she has made significant contributions to understanding its kinematics and manipulability. In her 2015 paper on this topic, which has garnered 3 citations, she developed mathematical models describing the device's spatial geometry and behavior, enabling operational Cartesian motion planning and performance verification for human-robot interaction. Her research also explores advanced control strategies, including WaveNet control for passive haptic guidance tasks, where she addresses the complex dynamics of human contact with robotic systems characterized by inertial and tribological properties. This work, cited 2 times, demonstrates her ability to modify contact dynamics to enhance system stability and user experience. Saucedo-Ugalde’s contributions are essential for advancing haptic technology in applications ranging from teleoperation to rehabilitation, where precise force feedback and intuitive interaction are critical. Her research bridges theoretical kinematics with practical control, making her a notable figure in the field of haptic robotics.
