About
Hector Oscanoa is a forward-thinking researcher whose work bridges engineering education, social robotics, and intelligent manipulation. His key research areas include affordable educational platforms for artificial intelligence, human-robot interaction for therapeutic applications, and adaptive robotic grasping. Oscanoa’s major contributions are defined by his commitment to accessibility and social impact. He developed a low-cost scaled car platform for teaching AI self-driving car concepts to undergraduate students in emerging countries, a project validated through a mechatronics course at Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. This work, cited 5 times, addresses critical gaps in STEM education in resource-limited settings. In parallel, Oscanoa designed JARI, a social robot aimed at enhancing emotional recognition and social interaction in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). With 5 citations, this 2025 study demonstrates the potential of affordable robotics for therapeutic support. His technical expertise is further evidenced by the design of a three-fingered gripper with force feedback sensing control, enabling multiform object grasping for industrial applications. Oscanoa’s work stands out for its dual focus on cutting-edge technology and real-world inclusivity, making him a notable figure in both educational innovation and assistive robotics.
