About

Adrian Nacarino is a rising researcher at the intersection of rehabilitation robotics and bio-mechatronics, affiliated with the Advanced Robotics and Mechatronics Research Group (GI-ROMA) at Ricardo Palma University. His work centers on developing robotic exoskeleton systems for post-stroke rehabilitation, with a particular focus on restoring upper and lower limb function. Nacarino’s major contributions include the design of an elbow-hand robotic exoskeleton for active and passive rehabilitation, detailed in a 2024 review that has already garnered 10 citations for its comprehensive analysis of clinical applications in neurorecovery. He also pioneered a bio-mechatronic hand exoskeleton with a mobile-prismatic joint mechanism, cited 9 times, addressing the critical need for hand function restoration in the 70–80% of stroke survivors affected. Extending his impact to lower limbs, Nacarino applied VDI 2206 and 2225 standards to conceptualize a robotic system for continuous passive motion therapy, earning 4 citations. Beyond rehabilitation, he contributed to sustainable energy with a mechatronic design for a vertical axis wind turbine with helical blades. Nacarino’s work is notable for its patient-centered engineering, blending rigorous mechanical design with clinical relevance, positioning him as an emerging leader in assistive robotics.
