About

Hugo Andrade’s research lies at the intersection of rehabilitation robotics and assistive technology, with a focus on restoring hand function for individuals with disabilities. His most notable contribution is the development of the Nuada Glove, an innovative hand exoskeleton designed to support daily living activities for people with hand impairments. In his pilot study, Andrade demonstrated how this wearable device can help users regain autonomy in essential tasks, addressing the profound impact that hand disabilities have on quality of life. Though early in its citation history, this work represents a critical step toward practical, user-friendly assistive devices. Andrade’s approach combines biomechanical insight with engineering design, aiming to bridge the gap between clinical need and technological solution. His research underscores a commitment to creating accessible tools that empower individuals, making him a promising voice in the field of rehabilitation engineering.
