Jonas Bornmann

About

Jonas Bornmann is a leading researcher in the fields of biomechanics, rehabilitation robotics, and occupational health, with a specific focus on mitigating low back pain—one of the most pervasive health challenges in modern society. His major contribution is the design and development of the SPEXOR (Spinal Exoskeletal Robot), a passive exoskeleton aimed at preventing low back pain and supporting vocational reintegration for workers. This work integrates multidisciplinary expertise from biomechanics, robotics, and computer science to create practical, wearable technologies that reduce spinal load during physically demanding tasks. Bornmann’s flagship publication, "SPEXOR: Design and development of passive spinal exoskeletal robot for low back pain prevention and vocational reintegration" (2019), has garnered 17 citations, reflecting its growing influence in ergonomics and assistive robotics. His research not only advances scientific understanding of spinal biomechanics but also offers tangible solutions for workplace injury prevention, making him a key figure in translating robotic innovation into real-world health benefits.
