About
Elvina Motard is a pioneering researcher in assistive robotics and human-robot interaction, with a focus on exoskeletons and emergency response systems. Her most impactful work, the MINDWALKER project (59 citations), developed a crutch-less lower-limb exoskeleton controlled by brain-neural computer interfaces for individuals with spinal cord injuries—a breakthrough in assistive mobility. She also led the VIEW-FINDER project (27 citations), creating robotic systems to support firefighters in hazardous environments, and contributed to EXOSTATION (19 citations), a haptic exoskeleton control station for remote teleoperation. Her research extends to swarm robotics for emergency settings (15 citations) and topological mapping for visual homing in AIBO robots (11 citations). Across these projects, Motard has advanced the integration of haptic feedback, brain-computer interfaces, and autonomous navigation, with applications ranging from rehabilitation to crisis management. Her work, supported by ESA and EC funding, demonstrates a consistent commitment to translating complex robotic technologies into real-world solutions that enhance human capability and safety.
