Professor Neville Hogan, PhD
Robotics for Neurorecovery
Robots are well on their way to becoming commonplace
domestic appliances but to realize their full potential
requires the perfection of contact robotics, machines that
physically cooperate with humans. Robots capable of safe
physical cooperation with humans enable entirely new
ways for technology to help people. One pioneering
application of contact robotics is the delivery of physiotherapy
to facilitate recovery after neurological injury. I will
review recent success with interactive robotic treatment of
upper-extremity motor disorders. It has proven to afford
lasting benefits, both an increase of motor ability and a
reduction of paretic arm pain, for persons in both the
acute phase and the chronic phase of recovery after stroke.
Neville Hogan is Professor of Mechanical Engineering
and Professor of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is Director of
the Newman Laboratory for Biomechanics and Human
rehabilitation and a founder and director of Interactive
Motion Technologies, Inc., a company offering innovative
robotic tools to study and treat neuro-motor impairments.
Born in Dublin, Ireland, he obtained a Dip. Eng.
(with distinction) from Dublin Institute of Technology and
M.S., M.E. and Ph.D. degrees from the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology. Following industrial experience in
engineering design, he joined MIT’s school of
Engineering faculty in 1979 and has served as Head and
Associate Head of the MIT Mechanical Engineering
Department’s System Dynamics and Control Division. He
has been awarded Honorary Doctorates from the Delft
University of Technology and the Dublin Institute of
Technology and the Silver Medal of the Royal Academy
of Medicine in Ireland.
