About
Thomaz Rodrigues Botelho is a leading researcher in rehabilitation robotics, with a focus on developing intelligent exoskeletons for lower-limb assistance and recovery. His work centers on human-robot interaction, particularly using polymer optical fiber strain gauges to assess interaction forces, as demonstrated in his highly cited 2018 paper (78 citations). Botelho’s major contribution lies in creating a robotic knee exoskeleton controlled by motion intention from surface electromyography (sEMG) signals, employing admittance control to aid individuals with reduced mobility. This work, cited 45 times, highlights his impact on assistive technology and neurorehabilitation. His research integrates multimodal interfaces and movement prediction to enhance rehabilitation outcomes, as seen in his 2016 and 2019 studies. With a total of over 125 citations, Botelho’s innovations bridge sensing, control, and clinical application, offering practical solutions for improving locomotion and quality of life in patients with motor impairments.
