ML-Act[PFP3]
ML for Lower-Limb Activity Detection and Segmentation
Budget: -
Objective: To design, implement, and validate supervised ML models that achieve robust, real-time detection and segmentation of functional lower-limb activities, providing a foundation for future applications in rehabilitation technologies and assistive robotics.
Period: 2025-2027.
Researchers: Daniel Barboza and Fernando Brunetti.
Funding: Self-funded.
MoCaLab[PFP2]
MoCaLab[PFP2]
Motion Capture Laboratory
Budget: -
Objective: To develop a homogeneous and validated repository of data on walking, stair ascent and descent, and sit-to-stand transitions, serving as a foundation for research, technological innovation, and clinical applications in rehabilitation and assistive robotics.
Period: 2025-2027.
Researchers: Guillermo Apodaca, Luis Alonso and Fernando Brunetti.
Funding: Self-funded.
H-GAIT[PFP1]
H-GAIT[PFP1]
Hybrid knee-ankle foot exoskeleton.
Budget: -
Objective: To develop a hybrid unilateral knee–ankle–foot exoskeleton. Knee actuation includes traditional robotic actuation, while knee and ankle actuation is based on functional electrical stimulation using a robotic motor neuroprosthesis (MNP). Control, detection, and lower-limb activity segmentation algorithms are implemented in the MNP.
Period: 2022-2027.
Researchers: Sergio Elizalde, Daniel Barboza, Guillermo Apodaca and Fernando Brunetti.
Funding: Universidad Católica "Nuestra Señora de la Asunción".
