About

Giorgos Marinou is a researcher specializing in biomechanics, wearable robotics, and human movement analysis, with a particular focus on exoskeleton technology and its practical applications in injury prevention and rehabilitation. His work bridges the gap between computational modeling and real-world assistive device implementation, addressing critical questions about how robotic systems can best support human performance and safety. Among his most notable contributions is a 2021 study comparing the effectiveness of exoskeleton assistance against improved lifting technique in reducing low-back injury risk. Using model-based optimization within a rigorous two-factor block study design, Marinou provided rare quantitative insight into the relative merits of technological intervention versus behavioral change — work that has already attracted 8 citations and carries significant implications for occupational health and ergonomics. His more recent 2025 research introduced a modular, sensor-based system for real-time gait analysis and exoskeleton control, tackling two persistent challenges in the field: accurate biomechanical assessment and reliable device behavior outside laboratory settings. With 4 citations shortly after publication, this work signals a growing recognition of his contributions to making lower-limb exoskeletons more adaptable and effective in everyday environments. Marinou's research is shaping the future of human-robot interaction in both clinical and industrial contexts.
