IARX2022, Ibero-American Robotic Rehabilitation Symposium
With the aim of closing gaps at the Ibero-American level in the use of robotic technology in healthcare, LatamnovaTECH is organising IARX2022 Ibero-American Symposium on Robotic Rehabilitation, which will be held from 23-26 May 2022, via free streaming.

Currently, there are 2.4 billion people in the world who have a health condition that benefits from rehabilitation, i.e. more than 15% of the global population according to a study by the World Health Organization (WHO). Faced with this, 21st century tools, such as robotics and technology, have managed

José Carlos Castillo, Robotics Lab UC3M, has patented (as co-author) a method to reduce energy losses in solar thermal power plants.
