About

Paulo Jorge Coelho is a researcher at the forefront of integrating robotics, sensing technologies, and clinical assessment. His work spans three key domains: medical gait analysis, automated material handling, and multi-modal perception. Coelho’s most impactful contribution is a systematic review on the Ten Meter Walk Test (8 citations), where he critically examined how wearables, mobile devices, and lower-limb motion sensors can enhance this standard diagnostic tool for neuromuscular and neurodegenerative conditions. This work bridges the gap between traditional clinical assessments and modern digital health technologies. In robotics, Coelho has advanced the niche but industrially critical field of gripper technologies for rigid fabric parts (5 citations), providing a targeted review of solutions for handling compressed, porous materials—a challenge in automated textile manufacturing. He has also contributed to multi-object tracking (3 citations), developing methods that fuse LiDAR and visual signals for robust environmental perception. Coelho’s research demonstrates a unique ability to synthesize technological innovation with practical application, from factory floors to rehabilitation clinics, making his work valuable for engineers and clinicians alike.
