About
Abigail A. Daitol is a researcher focused on the intersection of robotics, rehabilitation engineering, and human-computer interaction. Her most notable contribution is the development of a 3-DOF Admittance Control Robotic Arm integrated with a 3D virtual game, a senior capstone project at the New Jersey Institute of Technology. This system is specifically designed for facilitated training of the hemiparetic hand, offering a novel approach to upper extremity rehabilitation for patients recovering from stroke or other neurological conditions. By combining admittance control—which ensures compliant, safe interaction—with an engaging virtual environment, Daitol’s work addresses both the physical and motivational aspects of therapy. While her most-cited paper has garnered 5 citations, the project’s practical, patient-centered design highlights her commitment to translating engineering principles into real-world clinical solutions. Her research exemplifies how low-cost, interactive robotic systems can democratize access to rehabilitation, making therapy more accessible and engaging. Daitol’s work serves as a foundation for future innovations in assistive robotics and gamified neurorehabilitation.
