About

Sebastian Caballa is a rising researcher in the field of assistive and rehabilitation robotics, with a focus on creating accessible, low-cost solutions for individuals with motor impairments. His work spans robotic grasping, pediatric care, and wearable augmentation. Caballa’s most cited paper, “Three-Fingered Gripper for Multiform Object Grasping with Force Feedback Sensing Control” (2020, 3 citations), introduces a rapid-prototyped electric gripper that integrates Force Sensing Resistors (FSR) for precise force feedback, advancing affordable robotic manipulation. In “RoPi” (2023, 2 citations), he addresses a critical gap in Latin American healthcare by proposing a combined pharmacological and non-pharmacological robotic intervention to support children suffering from burn injuries, highlighting his commitment to low-budget, high-impact solutions. His latest work, “A Body-Powered Wrist-Driven Supernumerary Robotic Finger” (2025, 1 citation), pioneers a lightweight, electronics-free wearable finger that leverages body power to assist grasping-impaired individuals, eliminating the weight and power constraints of traditional designs. Caballa’s research consistently emphasizes practicality, affordability, and user-centered design, making him a notable contributor to accessible robotic technologies for rehabilitation and daily living.
