About
Chandan Karmakar’s research sits at the vital intersection of neurorehabilitation, human-robot interaction, and adaptive assistive technologies. His work focuses on developing intelligent systems that enhance recovery for patients with central and peripheral nervous system injuries, particularly following stroke. A key contribution is his exploration of serious games integrated with robot exoskeletons for stroke rehabilitation, demonstrating how gamified, engaging environments can improve patient motivation and motor outcomes. Karmakar has also pioneered dynamic difficulty adaptation in neurorehabilitation monitoring, creating systems that adjust task complexity in real time based on a patient’s cognitive and emotional state—recognizing that active mental engagement and positive affect are critical for optimal motor learning and gait therapy. Though his citation counts are still growing, his forward-looking approach addresses a fundamental challenge in rehabilitation: sustaining patient engagement during repetitive therapy. By combining robotics, game design, and real-time physiological monitoring, Karmakar’s work lays essential groundwork for more personalized, effective, and motivating neurorehabilitation technologies.
