About
Agnieszka Agas is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of rehabilitation engineering and human-robot interaction. Her primary research focus is on developing robotic systems to aid in the recovery of motor function, specifically for patients with hemiparesis—a condition often resulting from stroke that impairs movement on one side of the body. Her most notable contribution is the design and implementation of a "3-DOF Admittance Control Robotic Arm with a 3D Virtual Game," a project that emerged from her senior capstone at the New Jersey Institute of Technology. This system integrates admittance control—a method that allows the robot to respond compliantly to user force—with an engaging virtual environment. The goal is to make repetitive rehabilitation exercises for the hand and upper extremities more effective and motivating. While her most cited work has garnered 5 citations, its true impact lies in its practical, patient-centered design, showcasing a promising approach to accessible, technology-driven therapy. Agas’s work represents a meaningful step toward bridging the gap between advanced control theory and tangible clinical applications for motor recovery.
