About

Esmaeil Mohammadi is a robotics and rehabilitation engineering researcher whose work centers on the design, prototyping, and control of wearable exoskeletal systems for upper-limb motor recovery. His research addresses a critical global health challenge: restoring mobility to individuals who have lost upper-limb function due to stroke, spinal injury, or accidents — populations for whom effective, accessible rehabilitation tools remain scarce. Mohammadi's most recognized contribution is his active assistive exoskeletal robot targeting elbow and wrist rehabilitation, which has garnered 15 citations and demonstrated both mechanical innovation and practical control system development. His subsequent work extended this vision to the shoulder joint, producing a portable rehabilitation robot designed for real-world clinical and home use — moving beyond laboratory-only prototypes to address a significant gap in the field. His earlier foundational paper on control system design for elbow and wrist exoskeletons established the algorithmic groundwork that underpins his later hardware advances. Across his body of work, Mohammadi consistently bridges mechanical design, control engineering, and patient-centered application, making him a notable contributor to the growing field of rehabilitation robotics. His research holds particular relevance for engineers, clinicians, and students pursuing human-assistive and wearable robotic technologies.
