About

Carlos Parga is a researcher specializing in human-machine interfaces (HMI) and robotic exoskeleton design, with a focus on accessible, low-cost control systems. His most cited work, including "Tele-manipulation of robot arm with smartphone" (2013) and "Smartphone-Based Human Machine Interface with Application to Remote Control of Robot Arm" (2013), each with 11 citations, pioneered the use of smartphone accelerometers and gyroscopes to generate six distinct commands for remote robot arm control. By integrating inverse kinematics, Parga demonstrated that everyday devices could replace expensive, bulky sensing equipment, making tele-manipulation more affordable and portable. His later work, "Design and Modeling of Shoulder Exoskeleton Using Two Revolute Joints" (2019, 2 citations), explores assistive robotics for rehabilitation, modeling a lightweight shoulder exoskeleton to aid movement. Parga’s contributions bridge the gap between consumer technology and advanced robotics, emphasizing simplicity and cost-effectiveness. His research is particularly notable for its practical applications in teleoperation and assistive devices, offering a foundation for future innovations in accessible robotic control and wearable exoskeletons.
