About
Inigo Sanz-Pena is a leading researcher at the intersection of wearable robotics, biomechatronics, and personalized rehabilitation engineering. His work focuses on developing intelligent, user-specific assistive technologies to restore mobility in individuals with gait impairments. A key contribution is his pioneering use of modular additive manufacturing to create personalized wearable ankle robots, addressing the critical need for devices that adapt to each patient’s unique anatomy and pathology. His 2023 paper on this topic has garnered 19 citations, reflecting its impact on the future of custom-fit robotic orthoses. Sanz-Pena also advances human-robot interaction through real-time biofeedback systems. His 2021 work on a computer interface integrating wearable sensors for gait biofeedback (17 citations) enables subject-specific therapy by allowing clinicians to define tasks based on real-time patient data. By merging open-source software with portable hardware, he is making robotic gait training more accessible for clinical and outdoor settings. His research is instrumental in shifting rehabilitation from one-size-fits-all devices toward truly personalized, data-driven interventions that empower patients and improve functional outcomes.
