About
Ioannis Kouris is a leading researcher at the intersection of healthcare robotics, rehabilitation engineering, and semantic interoperability. His work focuses on developing intelligent robotic systems that enhance patient recovery and ensure safe human-robot collaboration in clinical settings. Kouris’s major contributions include the design of **Rehabotics**, a comprehensive rehabilitation platform for post-stroke spasticity that integrates a soft glove, a robotic exoskeleton hand, and augmented reality serious games. This multi-component system, published in 2023, has already garnered 4 citations for its innovative approach to personalized motor recovery. He is also the architect of **HERON (HEalthcare Robotics’ ONtology)**, a modular upper ontology introduced in 2025 that enables context-aware, policy-compliant reasoning for safe communication and collaboration between healthcare robots and humans. With 2 citations to date, HERON addresses a critical gap in semantic enforcement systems for healthcare robotics. Kouris’s work is notable for bridging hardware innovation with software intelligence, advancing both the practical rehabilitation of stroke patients and the foundational frameworks needed for trustworthy robotic assistance in medicine.
