About
Arne Passon is a robotics and rehabilitation engineering researcher whose work sits at the intersection of assistive technology, motion sensing, and neuromuscular stimulation. His research focuses primarily on upper limb rehabilitation systems for stroke and spinal cord injured patients, combining rehabilitation robotics with Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) to restore and retrain motor function. Passon's most significant contributions include the development of hybrid inertial-robotic motion tracking systems, which address a fundamental limitation of end-effector-based robots by capturing movement across adjacent, unmonitored limb segments — work that has garnered 20 citations since 2020. His earlier research pioneered patient-cooperative FES control strategies using vector fields and iterative learning algorithms, enabling adaptive, personalized stimulation that compensates for muscle fatigue during therapy sessions. He has also advanced pneumatic muscle actuator control, proposing sensor-less torque controllers that enhance safety and compliance in human-robot interaction. Across his published work, Passon has accumulated over 60 citations, reflecting meaningful engagement from the rehabilitation robotics community. His consistent focus on bridging sensing, stimulation, and intelligent control positions him as a thoughtful contributor to the design of next-generation, patient-centered rehabilitation technologies.
