About
Dr. Laura Nieto-Riveiro is a leading researcher at the intersection of assistive technology (AT), rehabilitation robotics, and disability studies. Her work is dedicated to optimizing the human-technology match for people with disabilities, ensuring that advanced tools like robotics and artificial intelligence translate into meaningful improvements in quality of life and functional independence. She is the principal architect of the MATCH study protocol, a seminal framework for assessing and counseling to maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of AT. This work, which has garnered early recognition with 7 citations, provides a critical methodology for evaluating the psychosocial impact of robotic and AI-based interventions. In a notable pilot study (4 citations), Dr. Nieto-Riveiro applied these outcome measures to a robotic platform for individuals with cerebral palsy, demonstrating its applicability and complementarity in rehabilitation while identifying key design improvements for human-robot interaction. Her research bridges the gap between cutting-edge engineering and person-centered care, establishing evidence-based pathways for the deployment of sophisticated AT in real-world settings.
