About
Alireza Golgouneh is a researcher at the forefront of wearable robotics and soft actuation, with a focus on creating intelligent, human-centered assistive technologies. His work spans the design and control of soft robotic systems, particularly for rehabilitation and mobility assistance. A key contribution is his comprehensive review on on-body compression using soft actuators and sensors (31 citations), which systematically explores applications from medical treatments for lymphedema and deep vein thrombosis to athletic and haptic interfaces. Golgouneh has also made significant strides in exoskeleton design, developing a hybrid SMA-pneumatic wearable upper limb exoskeleton (22 citations) that offers a lightweight, compliant alternative to rigid robotics. His expertise extends to control theory, where he has designed adaptive sliding mode controllers for underactuated and fully-actuated robots capable of online parameter identification (22 citations). Further demonstrating his innovation, he created a biomimetic SMA-actuated robotic arm controllable via a wearable sleeve (15 citations), bridging the gap between intuitive human input and robotic assistance. With a portfolio of highly cited papers, Golgouneh’s work is shaping the future of soft, adaptive, and controllable wearable systems for rehabilitation and beyond.
