About
Doni R. Saksono is a researcher advancing the field of soft robotics, with a focus on affordable and safe assistive technologies for rehabilitation. His key research areas include soft pneumatic actuators, medical robotics, and human–machine interfaces. Saksono’s most notable contribution is the design and characterization of a low-cost soft pneumatic bending actuator (PBA) for hand rehabilitation, published in 2018. This work directly addresses the limitations of traditional rigid exoskeletons—such as poor alignment with finger joints and risk of injury from collisions—by introducing a compliant, lightweight, and inherently safe alternative. The actuator, fabricated from elastomeric materials, bends under pneumatic pressure, enabling natural finger movement while reducing mechanical complexity and cost. With 11 citations, this paper has influenced subsequent designs in soft rehabilitation robotics. Saksono’s work demonstrates a commitment to making assistive devices more accessible and user-friendly, bridging the gap between laboratory innovation and practical, low-cost clinical solutions. His research continues to inspire engineers and clinicians seeking safer, more adaptable robotic aids for motor recovery.
