About
Pedro Henrique Fabriz Ulhoa is a rising force in the field of robotic rehabilitation and assistive technologies, with a focused expertise in lower-limb exoskeletons and powered prostheses. His research addresses critical design limitations in these devices, particularly the need for kinematic compatibility with human joints and high backdrivability. Ulhoa’s most cited work, a 2022 paper on a magneto-rheological knee exoskeleton (27 citations), demonstrates his ability to tackle these challenges through innovative actuation and control strategies. He has also made significant contributions to brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), exploring how temporal and frequency-selective patterns combined with Common Spatial Pattern (CSP) layers can enhance motor imagery classification for exoskeleton-assisted rehabilitation. His work extends to the hardware development of a knee-ankle powered prosthesis for transfemoral amputees, showcasing a comprehensive approach from design to real-world ambulation testing. With a growing publication record spanning from 2022 to 2025, Ulhoa is establishing himself as a key contributor to next-generation robotic systems that prioritize user safety, comfort, and functional restoration.
