About

Teodor Iliev is a researcher in rehabilitation robotics, with a primary focus on the design and control of lower-limb exoskeletons. His most-cited work, "Exoskeleton for the Ankle Joint Design and Control System" (2022), addresses a critical need in physiotherapy: the ankle, being one of the most frequently injured joints, often requires repetitive, labor-intensive rehabilitation. Iliev’s contribution lies in developing a robotic system that can automate and enhance this process, offering precise, repeatable support for mobility restoration. While his citation count is still growing—with this paper garnering 5 citations to date—his work represents an important step toward integrating mechatronics with clinical practice, potentially reducing the burden on therapists and improving patient outcomes. Iliev’s research sits at the intersection of biomechanics, control systems, and human-robot interaction, aiming to make robotic rehabilitation more accessible and effective. As the field of wearable robotics expands, his focus on ankle-specific exoskeletons positions him as a contributor to a niche but vital area of assistive technology, with future impact likely to grow as his designs are tested and refined in clinical settings.
