About

Daniela Popescu is a multidisciplinary researcher whose work bridges robotics, artificial intelligence, and smart manufacturing technologies. Her scholarship spans three interconnected domains: the application of AI in innovation processes, wearable robotics and exoskeleton integration in manufacturing environments, and medical robotics systems. Popescu's most influential contribution, "Application Potentials of Artificial Intelligence for the Design of Innovation Processes" (2019), has garnered 54 citations and explores how emerging digital technologies — including AI, big data analytics, and augmented reality — are reshaping economies and industries. Her sustained interest in exoskeletons has produced pioneering methodological frameworks for digital twin development in manufacturing workplaces, helping organizations evaluate both the ergonomic and economic benefits of wearable robotics before real-world deployment. Her work in medical robotics is equally noteworthy; her research on the BR-1 parallel robot for brachytherapy cancer treatment demonstrates a commitment to translating advanced robotics into life-saving clinical applications. Earlier contributions to autonomous mobile robot control further reflect her broad technical foundation. With nearly 100 cumulative citations across a diverse portfolio, Popescu represents a researcher at the productive intersection of human-centered technology, industrial innovation, and healthcare robotics — making her work highly relevant to engineers, technologists, and policymakers alike.
