About
Dr. Robert Forget is a leading researcher in assistive robotics and rehabilitation engineering, with a primary focus on developing intelligent mobility solutions for individuals with severe physical disabilities. His most impactful work centers on the design and clinical validation of smart wheelchair systems that integrate robotic assistance to help users with complex maneuvering tasks. In his landmark 2013 study, "Design and validation of an intelligent wheelchair towards a clinically-functional outcome," which has garnered 56 citations, Dr. Forget demonstrated how sensor-based navigation and adaptive control algorithms can significantly improve the independence and safety of powered wheelchair users during activities of daily living. This foundational contribution bridges the gap between laboratory prototypes and real-world clinical applications, establishing a framework for creating truly functional assistive technologies. Dr. Forget's research has been instrumental in advancing human-robot interaction within rehabilitation contexts, and his work continues to influence the development of user-centered robotic aids that enhance quality of life for people with mobility impairments.
