Impaired motor function is a hallmark feature of neurological conditions such as spinal cord injury, Impaired motor function is a hallmark of neurological conditions such as spinal cord injury, stroke, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, as well as aging and other motor pathologies. The resulting decrease in mobility hampers functional motor performance and often leads to social stigma and depression. Motor impairment significantly impacts people's quality of life while also imposing considerable costs on health and social services.

At the Neuroengineering Group (NEG), we are dedicated to developing innovative technologies that facilitate rehabilitation and promote functional movement recovery. We collaborate with leading research groups to create minimally invasive solutions, including hybrid robotic exoskeletons, smart motor neuroprostheses, enhanced therapies, and functional assessment systems.

Additionally, we also focus on improving cognitive human-machine (H-M) interaction, developing seamless cognitive and cybernetic technologies, and transferring accessible, low-cost technology to the community to enhance quality of life and reduce the digital divide.

Our research lines include:

• Rehabilitation and compensation robotics

• Motor neuroprostheses

• Motor control

• Human-machine interfaces

• Assessment systems

• Analysis of physiological signals and bioinspired algorithms
