About

Dilini D. Pasqual is a robotics researcher whose work centers on assistive exoskeleton technology, with a particular focus on reducing work-related musculoskeletal disorders in industrial settings. Her major contribution is the development of ArmX, a seven degrees of freedom (DOF) upper extremity exoskeleton robot designed to provide lift assistance to workers who perform repetitive manual handling tasks. This innovative system directly addresses a critical occupational health challenge by reducing the risk of musculoskeletal injuries among industrial workers. While her most-cited paper, "ArmX: An Upper Extremity Exoskeleton Robot for Lift Assistance" (2022), has garnered 3 citations, it represents foundational work in a rapidly growing field of human-robot interaction and occupational ergonomics. Pasqual's research bridges the gap between robotic engineering and practical workplace safety, offering a tangible solution to one of the most common causes of workplace disability. Her work is particularly relevant for researchers and students interested in wearable robotics, human augmentation, and industrial automation, as it demonstrates how advanced robotic systems can be designed to directly improve human health and productivity in demanding physical environments.
