پژوهشگر ارشد
Ásgerdur Arna Pálsdóttir serves as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Aalborg University's Department of Health Science and Technology within the Faculty of Medicine. Her work focuses on neurorehabilitation robotics, developing innovative tongue-based control systems for assistive robotic manipulators to enhance mobility for individuals with severe disabilities. As an active participant in the Center for Rehabilitation Robotics and principal investigator for the Tongue Control project, she bridges engineering and clinical applications to translate technical innovations into practical rehabilitation solutions. Her research expertise spans neurorehabilitation robotics , adaptive semi-automation , and tongue-based human-computer interfaces . She investigates control frameworks that combine tongue and brain signals for users with conditions like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), emphasizing user-centered design for wheelchair-mounted robotic arms and underactuated grippers. Her work addresses critical challenges in slip detection, visual guidance systems, and real-world implementation of assistive technologies for daily living activities. Recent publications reveal a strong trend toward multimodal control systems that adapt to user capabilities, with increasing focus on hybrid tongue-brain interfaces and safety-critical functions like transparent object manipulation. Her research consistently prioritizes clinical validation with disabled individuals, demonstrating measurable improvements in task completion and user autonomy through adaptive automation. Dr. Pálsdóttir has secured significant research funding through the Independent Research Fund Denmark's MultiRob project (2018-2022) and currently contributes to the active Center for Rehabilitation Robotics. Her grant work fosters cross-disciplinary collaboration between engineers, clinicians, and end-users to develop practical assistive technologies. She actively organizes academic events including the Aalborg Symposium in Advances in Rehabilitation Robotics (2023) and annual Girls' Day in Science initiatives (2020-2023), promoting STEM education and interdisciplinary dialogue within the rehabilitation robotics community.
