About
Marta Moltedo is a leading researcher in the field of wearable robotics, specializing in the design and control of compliant, bio-inspired actuators for lower-limb exoskeletons and orthoses. Her work focuses on enhancing human-robot interaction by developing variable stiffness actuators that mimic the energy-efficient properties of human biarticular muscles. Her major contributions include the design of torque-controllable knee and ankle joint actuators with adjustable series compliance and parallel elasticity, as well as lightweight, adaptable ankle-foot orthoses. Notably, her 2019 paper on a variable stiffness ankle actuator has garnered 52 citations, while her 2017 review of biarticular elements in bio-inspired robotics has received 51 citations. She also played a key role in the FP7 BioMot project, which developed a modular lower-limb exoskeleton with six variable stiffness joints. Her work on customized physical interfaces to reduce relative motion between user and device has been cited 36 times. With over 300 total citations across her most-cited papers, Moltedo’s research is instrumental in advancing the efficiency, safety, and comfort of wearable assistive technologies for individuals with mobility impairments.
