About

Hossein Rouhani is a leading researcher at the intersection of robotics, rehabilitation, and human-machine interaction. His work primarily focuses on developing intelligent robotic systems for gait therapy, surgical skill assessment, and industrial ergonomics. Rouhani’s major contributions include pioneering a therapist-taught robotic system for foot drop gait therapy, which leverages kinesthetic teaching to enable robots to learn and deliver repetitive, high-intensity physiotherapy—a paper that has garnered 35 citations. He has also advanced the field of surgical robotics by introducing an information-theoretical approach to evaluate bimanual hand coordination during robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery, offering a novel metric for surgical skills assessment (9 citations). Additionally, his research on passive back-support exoskeletons has practical implications for reducing work-related musculoskeletal disorders in construction, with 14 citations. Rouhani’s work on fuzzy sliding mode control and interval type-2 fuzzy logic for lower-limb exoskeletons further underscores his expertise in control systems and assistive technologies. With a career spanning two decades, his interdisciplinary approach bridges engineering and clinical applications, making significant strides in enhancing human performance and recovery through robotics.
