About

Jokin Aginaga is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of rehabilitation engineering and advanced manufacturing, with a particular focus on robotic systems. His key research areas include parallel robot kinematics for medical applications, robotic belt grinding process optimization, and dynamic systems analysis. Aginaga's major contributions include the kinematic design of a novel four degree-of-freedom parallel robot specifically developed for knee rehabilitation, addressing the need for lower-mobility architectures in therapeutic exercises. In manufacturing, he has made significant advances in robotic belt grinding, developing compensation strategies to minimize over-cut effects at workpiece borders and characterizing cutting depth in passive-compliant systems—work that has direct implications for industrial automation and surface finishing quality. His most cited paper, "Kinematic Design of a New Four Degree-of-Freedom Parallel Robot for Knee Rehabilitation" (2018), has accumulated 16 citations, while his more recent work on grinding optimization (2024-2025) has already garnered 15 combined citations, demonstrating growing impact. Aginaga has also contributed to operational modal analysis of coupled dynamic systems and robotic-assisted thin-wall machining using collaborative robots. His research bridges mechanical design, control systems, and practical industrial applications, making his work valuable for both rehabilitation technology developers and manufacturing engineers seeking to improve precision and efficiency in automated processes.
