About
Dr. Behnaz Sohani is a leading researcher in the fields of **robotics, control systems, and advanced sensor technologies**, with a particular focus on **soft robotics and rehabilitation engineering**. Her work bridges the gap between theoretical control algorithms and practical robotic applications, addressing critical challenges in human-robot interaction and precision manipulation. Dr. Sohani’s major contributions include the development of a **recursive PID-NT estimation-based second-order super-twisting sliding mode control (SMC) strategy** for knee exoskeleton robots, which significantly enhances robustness and precision by mitigating uncertainties in real-time. This work, published in 2025, has already garnered **6 citations**, reflecting its immediate impact on the field of assistive robotics. Additionally, she has pioneered the **development, experimental, and numerical characterisation of novel flexible strain sensors** for soft robotics applications, enabling safer interaction with delicate environments such as living tissue and agricultural produce. This research, also with **6 citations**, addresses a critical gap in the transition from rigid to compliant robotic systems. Her notable achievements include advancing uncertainty mitigation techniques in exoskeleton control and creating sensor solutions that minimise damage during robotic manipulation. Dr. Sohani’s work is essential for the next generation of medical, agricultural, and rehabilitation robots, where safety and adaptability are paramount.
