About
Javier Sanjuan De is a robotics researcher focused on developing innovative rehabilitation technologies for upper-limb recovery, particularly for stroke survivors. His work centers on robotic exoskeletons and end-effector devices designed to restore motor function through precise, safe, and adaptive control systems. A key contribution is his inverse kinematic solution for the u-Rob4 hybrid exoskeleton, which enables task-based rehabilitation by generating safe, collision-free trajectories from start to end points—a critical step for automating therapy. His most cited paper (8 citations) addresses this challenge, while another introduces a novel adaptive sliding mode control law for forearm and wrist rehabilitation robots, overcoming limitations of conventional controllers by ensuring robust, unperturbed motion. Additionally, Sanjuan De has explored home-based therapeutic robots, designing an end-effector type device for accessible, at-home upper-limb rehabilitation. His research directly impacts clinical practice by making robotic therapy safer, more adaptable, and potentially more accessible, with cumulative citations reflecting growing interest in his control strategies and kinematic solutions. Through these contributions, Sanjuan De advances the intersection of robotics, control theory, and neurorehabilitation, offering practical tools for improving patient outcomes.
