About

Dr. Marya V. Arteaga is a leading researcher in rehabilitation robotics and human–machine interfaces, with a focus on developing intelligent systems for post-stroke motor recovery. Her work centers on integrating electromyographic (EMG) signal processing with adaptive control algorithms to create more responsive and personalized robotic exoskeletons. In her highly cited 2020 study, "EMG-based adaptive trajectory generation for an exoskeleton model during hand rehabilitation exercises," Dr. Arteaga introduced a novel framework that decodes finger motion patterns from muscle activity to generate real-time, patient-specific trajectories for hand therapy. This approach addresses a critical challenge in neurorehabilitation: the need for adaptive, progressive assistance that evolves with the patient’s recovery. With 18 citations, this work has influenced subsequent designs in assistive robotics and human–robot interaction. Her contributions are paving the way toward more intuitive, biologically driven rehabilitation technologies that can restore hand function and improve quality of life for stroke survivors. Dr. Arteaga’s research continues to bridge the gap between neural control and robotic actuation, making her a key figure in the future of personalized rehabilitation engineering.
