About

Alejandro Jarillo Silva is a leading researcher in the field of haptic robotics and neurorehabilitation, specializing in the development of advanced human-robot physical interaction (HRpI) systems. His work focuses on creating intelligent, adaptive interfaces that assist in physical therapy for patients with upper limb motor impairments, particularly those recovering from neurological injuries such as stroke. Jarillo Silva’s major contributions include the design of a Wavenet controller for neurorehabilitation, which integrates human cooperative-in-the-loop control to enhance therapy outcomes. He has also pioneered haptic guidance strategies based on sub-optimal passivity and sliding model control, ensuring stable and safe human-robot interaction during training tasks. His most cited work, “HRpI System Based on Wavenet Controller with Human Cooperative-in-the-Loop for Neurorehabilitation Purposes” (2022), has garnered 9 citations, reflecting its growing impact. With over 24 total citations across his key publications, Jarillo Silva’s research bridges control theory, haptics, and clinical rehabilitation, offering novel solutions for motor recovery. His notable achievements include developing adaptable haptic interfaces that respond to patient feedback, advancing the field of robotic-assisted physiotherapy.
