About
Bridget Schabron is a researcher specializing in assistive robotics, human-machine interfaces, and rehabilitative technology, with a particular focus on improving quality of life for individuals living with neuro-muscular disorders such as cerebral palsy, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, spinal cord injuries, and stroke. Her work sits at the intersection of robotics engineering and accessibility, developing innovative solutions to help patients perform activities of daily living more independently. Schabron's most impactful contribution is her development of a wheelchair-mounted upper limb robotic exoskeleton featuring an adaptive controller, which has garnered 25 citations since its 2021 publication. Complementing this work, she has pioneered intuitive control interfaces for assistive robotic systems, including an artificial neural network capable of detecting hand gestures for robotic arm control (22 citations) and a multimodal system integrating forearm sEMG signals with IMU sensors for trajectory planning (13 citations). Her exploration of force myography as a control mechanism for wheelchair-mounted robotic exoskeletons further demonstrates her commitment to expanding accessible control paradigms. Collectively accumulating over 65 citations, Schabron's research represents meaningful progress in bridging advanced robotics with real-world assistive applications, making her an emerging voice in rehabilitation engineering and human-centered robotic design.
