About
Benjamin de Jonge is a leading figure in the field of assistive and rehabilitation robotics, with a primary focus on synergy-based control systems for prosthetics. His most notable contribution is spearheading the SoftPro Project, an open-source initiative that develops and disseminates technologies for prosthetic hands and rehabilitation devices. By leveraging the concept of postural synergies—the coordinated patterns of movement that simplify control—de Jonge’s work has made advanced, intuitive prosthetic control more accessible to researchers and clinicians worldwide. The project’s flagship publication, "The SoftPro Project: Synergy-Based Open-Source Technologies for Prosthetics and Rehabilitation" (2018), has garnered 2 citations, reflecting its foundational role in the field. Beyond this, de Jonge is recognized for his commitment to open-source principles, fostering a collaborative ecosystem that accelerates innovation in human-machine interfaces. His research bridges engineering and clinical practice, aiming to restore natural movement and improve quality of life for individuals with limb loss or motor impairments. For students and researchers, de Jonge’s work exemplifies how open-source frameworks can democratize cutting-edge technology, making it a cornerstone for future advances in rehabilitation robotics.
