About
Laurie Paquet is a leading researcher in assistive robotics, dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for individuals with disabilities through innovative human-robot interaction technologies. Her most-cited work, "JACO assistive robotic device: empowering people with disabilities through innovative algorithms" (2016, 26 citations), exemplifies her core contributions: developing intuitive control algorithms that enable users with limited mobility to perform daily tasks independently. Paquet’s research focuses on adaptive control systems, user-centered design, and real-world deployment of robotic arms, bridging the gap between complex robotics and practical accessibility. Her impact is evident in the JACO arm’s widespread adoption in rehabilitation settings, where her algorithms have improved user autonomy and reduced caregiver dependency. Beyond citations, Paquet’s work has been recognized for its translational value, earning her collaborations with clinical partners and advocacy groups. For students and researchers, her career demonstrates how algorithmic innovation can directly empower marginalized communities, making assistive technology not just functional but truly transformative.
