About

Morenikeji Komolafe is a rising researcher at the intersection of rehabilitation robotics and biomechatronics, with a focus on developing accessible neurorehabilitation technologies for stroke recovery. His most cited work introduces a robotic hand orthosis that detects a wearer’s movement intention and augments muscle force, offering a promising tool for post-stroke hand rehabilitation. This device, designed to assist finger motion, has garnered 5 citations and represents a key contribution to assistive robotics. Komolafe further advanced the field by creating a simulator for testing planar upper extremity rehabilitation robot control algorithms, enabling researchers to model human-robot interaction during trajectory tracking tasks using biomechanical arm models. Beyond technical development, he is a vocal advocate for expanding rehabilitation access in underserved regions. His recent collaborative work, stemming from the 2024 ICORR-SASNET Ghana Neurorehabilitation Workshop, provides pragmatic recommendations to improve access to rehabilitation robots and neurorehabilitation services across Africa. With a growing publication record and a clear commitment to bridging engineering innovation with global health equity, Komolafe is establishing himself as a thoughtful contributor to the future of inclusive, robot-assisted therapy.
