About
Aravind Nehrujee is a biomedical engineer and rehabilitation robotics researcher whose work sits at the intersection of neuroscience, mechanical design, and clinical therapy. His research focuses primarily on developing affordable, accessible robotic systems for upper-limb neurorehabilitation, with particular emphasis on stroke survivors and patients with motor impairments. He is best known for the PLUTO (Plug-and-Train Robot) system, a modular, cost-effective hand rehabilitation robot designed to address the clinical and economic limitations of conventional multi-degree-of-freedom devices. This work, which has garnered over 17 citations since 2021, has expanded into home-based rehabilitation settings and feasibility studies in low- and middle-income countries like India, demonstrating his commitment to equitable healthcare access. Beyond hand therapy, Nehrujee has contributed to arm rehabilitation through self-aligning end-effector robots for single-joint training and the underactuated MARS system for adaptive arm de-weighting. His more recent investigations into haptic social interaction explore how robotic systems can enhance patient motivation during recovery. Collectively accumulating over 40 citations, his growing body of work is shaping the future of practical, patient-centered rehabilitation robotics.
