Optical Fiber Sensors for the Next Generation of Rehabilitation Robotics Summary

Optical Fiber Sensors for the Next Generation of Rehabilitation Robotics by Arnaldo Leal-Junior (Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Federal University of Espirito Santor (UFES), Vitoria, Espirito Santo, Brazil)

Optical Fiber Sensors for the Next Generation of Rehabilitation Robotics presents development concepts and applications of optical fiber sensors made of compliant materials in rehabilitation robotics. The book provides methods for the instrumentation of novel compliant devices. It presents the development, characterization and application of optical fiber sensors in robotics, ranging from conventional robots with rigid structures to novel wearable systems with soft structures, including smart textiles and intelligent structures for healthcare. Readers can look to this book for help in designing robotic structures for different applications, including problem-solving tactics in soft robotics. This book will be a great resource for mechanical, electrical and electronics engineers and photonics and optical sensing engineers.

About Arnaldo Leal-Junior (Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Federal University of Espirito Santor (UFES), Vitoria, Espirito Santo, Brazil)

Arnaldo G. Leal-Junior was born in Uberlandia, Brazil, in 1991. He received the B.S. degree in mechanical engineering and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the Universidade Federal do Espirito Santo (UFES), Brazil, in 2015 and 2018, respectively. He is currently a professor in the mechanical engineering Department, UFES. His research interests include optical fiber sensors with emphasis on polymer optical fiber sensors, robotic systems, instrumentation and actuators. Anselmo Frizera-Neto received his B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from the Federal University of Espirito Santo (2006) and the PhD degree in Electronics from the Universidad de Alcala (Spain, 2010). Between 2006 and 2010, he worked as a researcher at the Bioengineering Group at the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientificas (CSIC, Spain). Since 2010 he is a Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at the Federal University of Espirito Santo (UFES). He served as a member of the Board of Directors of the Asociacion Iberoamericana de Tecnologias de Apoyo a la Discapacidad (AITADIS) from 2014 to 2018, contributing to support the dissemination of knowledge in the area of ??assistive technologies to countries in Latin America and the Iberian Peninsula. His research interests and areas of expertise are rehabilitation robotics, development of optical and electronic sensors for human-machine interfaces, biomedical signal processing, technologies to support disabilities and assist mobility.
