About
Tuani de Sa Rosa is a leading researcher in assistive robotics and rehabilitation engineering, with a focus on restoring mobility for individuals with spinal cord injuries (SCI). Her major contributions center on functional electrical stimulation (FES) technology, particularly in developing intelligent, fatigue-compensating systems for paralyzed muscles. Her most cited work, "Toward Sustainable and Accessible Mobility: A Functional Electrical Stimulation-Based Robotic Bike With a Fatigue-Compensation Algorithm and Mechanism for Cybathlon 2020" (2021, 4 citations), showcases her innovative approach to merging robotics and neuroprosthetics. In this project, she designed a robotic bike that enables pilots with SCI to drive using their own paralyzed leg muscles, stimulated by embedded intelligent algorithms that counteract muscle fatigue—a critical barrier in FES applications. This work was demonstrated at the Cybathlon 2020 competition, highlighting her commitment to real-world, accessible mobility solutions. De Sa Rosa’s research not only advances the technical frontiers of FES and human-robot interaction but also emphasizes sustainability and inclusivity, making her a notable figure in the field of assistive technology.
