Iliyas Tursynbek

About

Iliyas Tursynbek is a researcher at the intersection of rehabilitation robotics, haptic perception, and human-robot interaction. His most impactful work includes the preliminary mechanical design of the NU-Wrist, a 3-DOF self-aligning exoskeleton for wrist and forearm rehabilitation after stroke, which has garnered 46 citations and laid the groundwork for quantifying treatment outcomes. He has also advanced simulation methodologies by modeling spherical parallel manipulators in CoppeliaSim, a contribution cited 21 times that enables more accessible robot prototyping. More recently, Tursynbek has explored frequency modulation in decoding edge perception through touch, and developed Gaia, a social robot designed to connect humans with plants. His work demonstrates a commitment to both clinical rehabilitation and novel human-robot interfaces, bridging engineering design with user-centered applications.
