Álvaro Ríos Poveda (born 3 February 1974, Cali, Colombia) is a Colombian electronic engineer, university professor, and researcher who specializes in biomedical engineering and mechatronics. He has performed research on myoelectric prostheses, sensory feedback, and bionic vision technologies.[1]

Early life and education

He began his studies at San Juan Berchmans school in Cali, Colombia.[2]

Ríos earned an undergraduate degree in Electronic Engineering at Pontifical Xavierian University and completed his master's at Simon Bolivar University and doctorate studies at USF in Biomedical Engineering.[3] Along with that, he obtained an MBA from ISEAD.[4] His professional career began with research in neural prostheses and bionics systems. Ríos researched biomedical engineering, artificial intelligence, and robotics in control systems.

Career

Ríos is a researcher and university professor in undergraduate and postgraduate studies in Europe and Mexico. From a young age, his interest had grown into motor limitations.

In 1996, he developed prosthetic systems that allow patients to have greater limb functionality while ensuring accessibility for these systems in developing countries.[5][6][7]

In 1997, a sensory feedback system for prostheses was presented at France's World Congress on Biomedical Engineering. Ríos's public work includes myoelectric prosthesis with sensory feedback, presented at MEC'02: The Next Generation. His work mainly aims of his work is to control prosthetics more naturally, utilizing artificial intelligence, neural control, machine learning, and gesture control.[8][9][10]

Research

He has remained a member of the Publications Committee of the International Federation of Medical and Biological Engineering and a founding member of the Colombian Association of Biomedical Engineering. Since its inception in 2017, Ríos has been participating at every CBS IEEE International Conference on Bionic Systems and Cyborg and giving guest participation at IEEE's CBS 2017. Later in 2018, he represented the Latin American region at a conference on Upper Limb Prosthesis. Since then, Ríos has remained Chairman for the region of the Americas at the 2020 IEEE CBS and has also been working with World Health Organization, a member of Global Cooperation on Assistive Technology. He also established HAT (Human Assistive Technologies),[11][12][13] a bionics company based in Mexico City.[14][15][16][17] At HAT, a C-Hand was developed, which is a bionic prosthesis with sensory feedback and gesture control, and is a bionic arm designed for smart cities.
