About
Adam de Eyto is a leading researcher at the intersection of human-centred design and soft robotics, whose work is fundamentally shaping how assistive technologies are developed for older adults. His primary research areas include user-centred design, technology acceptance, and the engineering of soft exoskeletons for lower limb assistance. De Eyto’s major contribution lies in bridging the gap between technical engineering and real-world user needs. He was a key contributor to the XoSoft EU project, developing a soft, modular exoskeleton that prioritizes comfort, usability, and energy efficiency through innovative pneumatic quasi-passive actuation. His highly cited work, including a 2019 paper on a soft assistive exoskeleton (108 citations), demonstrates his impact. Crucially, de Eyto’s research on technology acceptance and stigma (79 citations) provides essential guidance for designing devices that older adults will actually want to use. By systematically investigating user perceptions and establishing safety guidelines through cuff pressure algometry, he ensures that these robotic aids are not only functional but also comfortable and socially acceptable, paving the way for their mainstream adoption.
