Adriano A. G. Siqueira is an Associate Professor at the São Carlos School of Engineering, University of São Paulo, with a distinguished background in robotics, exoskeletons, interactive robotic systems, robotic rehabilitation, and robust control. He holds a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering (1999) and a doctorate in Electrical Engineering (2004), both from USP. He completed postdoctoral studies at USP (2005) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) (2012). He earned his associate professorship in 2011, focusing on exoskeletons for rehabilitation. He holds a Research Productivity Grant (PQ-B) from the CNPq (National Council for Scientific and Technological Development). He was coordinator of the Graduate Program in Mechanical Engineering at EESC/USP (2021-2025) and director of the Center for Applied Engineering in Health (2020-2024). He has a strong presence in research projects funded by agencies such as FAPESP, CAPES, and CNPq, with an emphasis on robotic rehabilitation, exoskeletons, and robust control. He serves as a reviewer and editorial board member for international journals and is an associate editor of the Journal of the Brazilian Society of Mechanical Sciences and Engineering. He has received numerous national and international awards for his supervision of award-winning papers and for his scientific output, in addition to receiving several awards as the best undergraduate student, including the Academic Excellence Award from USP.

The project of the Assistive Technology Center for Daily Living Activities aims to provide solutions to restore or maintain personal mobility for people with disabilities or motor limitations, caused by issues such as spinal cord injury, stroke, diseases like Parkinson's, or aging. The project is a multidisciplinary and multimodal initiative, based on the joint work experience of differen…
This research project proposes to develop and evaluate hybrid adaptive strategies for the robotic rehabilitation of walking, using adaptive control algorithms and new interfaces of communication and interaction between the user and the robotic devices, such as, for example, Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) and Virtual Reality (VR). Specifically, we intend to develop an integrated s…

This project will build and evaluate a new anatomical and adjustable robotic exoskeleton for lower limbs with a multiaxial hip joint. A study of the materials and their properties will be carried out for the final construction of the equipment, in addition to a kinematic evaluation of the prototype for the refinement of the anatomical structures, joints, multiaxial hip mechanism and other…
This research project proposes to develop and evaluate pressure and contact sensing systems based on multi-layer piezoelectrets for monitoring different activities of daily living. The proposed sensors could be used to monitor plantar pressure in patients with diabetes; pressure at the patient's points of contact with the exoskeletons; and pressure on the seat, back and armrests of wheel…
This research project proposes to develop and evaluate hybrid adaptive strategies for robotic walking rehabilitation, using Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) in conjunction with a lower limb exoskeleton. It is intended to develop an integrated robot/FES control system that will be used in association with variable impedance control of the exoskeleton to promote motor rehabilitation.…
This research project proposes to develop and evaluate a new robotic exoskeleton for lower limbs, anatomical and adjustable with multiaxial joint at the hip, from the Exo-TAO. In this sense, this work will study possible solutions both from a mechanical and ergonomic point of view and develop methods to solve the main existing problems, allowing the user to use the exoskeleton in a safe, …
Worldwide, as the average life expectancy increases, the number of people in need of physiotherapy rises. Besides, it is noted that not only stroke survivors and individuals with spinal cord injury demand for these services, but also SARS-CoV-2 patients, after long bed rest periods, need some gait therapy sessions. In order to turn physiotherapy more efficient, virtual reality and robotic…
