About

Roya Jokar is a researcher specializing in advanced control systems for rehabilitation robotics, with a particular focus on intelligent and fractional-order control methodologies applied to assistive medical devices. Her work sits at the intersection of control engineering, biomedical robotics, and artificial intelligence, addressing the growing global demand for effective rehabilitation solutions driven by aging populations and the rising prevalence of neurological conditions such as stroke and spinal cord injuries. Jokar's most notable contributions center on the development of sophisticated controllers for knee joint orthoses — wearable robotic devices designed to assist patients in regaining mobility. Her 2021 paper on an intelligent fractional-order active fault-tolerant sliding mode controller has garnered 13 citations, demonstrating meaningful uptake within the specialized research community. Her earlier 2017 work introduced a fractional-order adaptive fuzzy terminal sliding mode controller enhanced with a nonlinear disturbance observer, reflecting her commitment to building robust, adaptive systems capable of handling the complex, unpredictable dynamics inherent in human-robot interaction. Through her research, Jokar contributes practical and theoretically rigorous solutions to one of healthcare's most pressing challenges — making rehabilitation technology smarter, more reliable, and more accessible to those who need it most.
