About
Aleksandra Kalinowska is a rising leader in physical human–robot interaction (pHRI), where her work bridges robotics, neuroscience, and rehabilitation engineering. Her research centers on how people and robots communicate through touch and motion—a field she terms "embodied communication." In her highly cited 2023 paper (45 citations), she laid foundational principles for designing robots that can safely and intuitively exchange information with humans via physical contact, moving beyond traditional sensorized hardware to focus on the interaction itself. Kalinowska also developed novel methods to quantify the "interaction bandwidth" in human-robot collaboration, measuring how effectively individuals respond to haptic and visual cues during cooperative tasks. Her recent work (2025) introduces sensitive, quantitative tools for assessing movement deficits after hemiparetic stroke, addressing a critical gap in motor impairment diagnosis and rehabilitation. By combining rigorous experimental design with computational analysis, Kalinowska’s contributions are shaping how assistive robots—from exoskeletons to prostheses—can augment human performance and aid recovery. Her research has immediate implications for clinical rehabilitation and collaborative robotics, earning her recognition as a key voice in the next generation of pHRI scientists.
