About

Hamilton Rivera-Flor is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of assistive robotics, brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), and human-machine interaction, with a focus on improving quality of life for individuals with physical and cognitive disabilities. Their work spans three key areas: social robotics for autism therapy, EEG-based BCI control of robotic wheelchairs, and exoskeleton-assisted motor rehabilitation. Rivera-Flor’s most impactful contribution is the pilot study on using robots to enhance social skills in children with autism spectrum disorder (54 citations), which demonstrated the therapeutic potential of human-robot interaction. They have also advanced SSVEP-based BCI systems for commanding robotic wheelchairs, integrating compressive sensing to improve signal efficiency and cloud-based processing for real-time control—a breakthrough that has garnered over 40 citations. More recently, Rivera-Flor has explored multisensory human-machine interfaces for wheelchair operation and posture monitoring, as well as temporal-frequency patterns in motor imagery tasks for exoskeleton rehabilitation. Their work is notable for bridging engineering innovation with clinical application, offering scalable solutions for assistive technologies. With a growing citation record and publications spanning 2016 to 2025, Rivera-Flor continues to shape the future of inclusive, intelligent mobility and therapy systems.
