About
Paul Palacios is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of mechatronics, biomedical engineering, and space systems, whose work spans critical applications from pandemic response to Mars exploration. Based in Perú, Palacios has established himself as a leading voice in biomechatronic systems design, developing innovative solutions for both terrestrial healthcare challenges and the extreme demands of human spaceflight. His most recognized contribution, the ROHNI-1 hybrid medical robot (31 citations), addressed Peru's urgent COVID-19 crisis by automating health surveillance in high-traffic public spaces. Beyond pandemic response, Palacios has directed substantial research toward space medicine, designing wearable systems like T-EVA for extravehicular temperature monitoring on Mars (23 citations), a sensorized soft robotic glove exoskeleton for Mars rescue missions (28 citations), and a soft robotic rehabilitation device targeting muscle atrophy in reduced-gravity environments (23 citations). His team also conceptualized the ARIES lunar rover for in-situ resource utilization (14 citations). Leading the Bioastronautics and Space Mechatronics Research Group, Palacios has accumulated over 135 citations across his key publications, demonstrating sustained influence across robotics, wearable biosensing, and human factors engineering in some of the most challenging environments imaginable.
