International recognition
In addition to the recent international award achieved in the District Energy LATAM Conference 2023 held in Cartagena/Colombia, the research group Thermotechnics GIR maintains intense international activity. Last October, the professor and director of the group, Dr. Fco. Javier Rey, gave a master conference on the energy transition in efficiency and renewable energies, invited by the College of Mechanical Engineers of Peru. Likewise, now in November activities will take place in Brazil in the context of the research project in which they collaborate, coinciding with the invited participation in a plenary session at the international congress.

New book by Professor Carlos Vaquero
Last Thursday, October 26, in the Aula de Grados of the Faculty of Medicine, Professor Carlos Vaquero, honorary member of ITAP, presented his new book entitled "Technological support of surgery“.
The book has been written in order to serve as a support for the Studies of the Degree in Biomedical Engineering and although it can be considered a textbook for the subject "Applied Surgery", it has contents that can be used in other subjects such as "Pathophysiology of organs and systems" in the surgical part.

Neurorehabilitation Techniques
Revolutionary study of mobility recovery. As a result of the collaboration between the ITAP institute and the Benito Menni Hospital, patients with functional impairment due to Covid are able to recover 70% of their movement capacity with the new RobHand exoskeleton. The advances will be presented this Tuesday, October 3, at the hospital itself. More information in this link.

Gesture Recognition Robot in Laparoscopic Surgery
Hand-assisted surgery (HALS) represents a new intermediate scenario between classic laparoscopic surgery and laparotomy. In it, the surgeon inserts one hand into the abdomen to manipulate the organs, while with the other he uses the conventional instruments of minimally invasive surgery.
Robot for the rehabilitation of hand functions through active therapies in people with neuromotor disabilities
Rehabilitation robotics: Design, control and manufacture of robotic devices for upper limb rehabilitation tasks in people with neuromotor disabilities.
In this line of research, robot-assisted mechatronic exercise devices are developed that significantly improve the success rate in neurological rehabilitation therapy to relearn the movement skills of the upper limbs (arm and hand).
