About

Florin Serea is a leading researcher in the field of rehabilitation robotics, with a primary focus on developing advanced neurorehabilitation systems for stroke patients and individuals with neuromotor disabilities. His work centers on the integration of Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES), robotic exoskeletons, and Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) to restore upper limb function. Serea’s major contributions include the design and development of the Hybrid FES-mechanical Intelligent Haptic Robotic Glove (IHRG), a pioneering hand exoskeleton that supports intensive, repetitive therapy for patients recovering from cerebrovascular accidents (CVA). He has also advanced the field by coupling BCI technology with FES-exoskeleton systems, enabling direct neural control of rehabilitation devices. His most-cited papers, including "Design of a hybrid FES-mechanical intelligent haptic robotic glove" (10 citations) and "Towards human arm rehabilitation in stroke patients by means of a hybrid FES & robotic glove" (9 citations), demonstrate his sustained impact. Serea’s work bridges engineering and clinical practice, pushing toward real-world implementation of robotic rehabilitation to improve sensory-motor recovery and quality of life for disabled patients.
