About

Jakub Kopowski is a biomedical engineer whose work sits at the intersection of rehabilitation robotics, additive manufacturing, and artificial intelligence. His primary research focuses on developing low-cost, accessible exoskeletons—particularly for the hand and elbow—that can aid in the physical therapy of patients with motor impairments. Kopowski’s major contributions include the design and fabrication of the “Bydgostian” hand exoskeleton, a 3D-printed device that addresses both mechanical function and biomedical compatibility, as well as an innovative elbow exoskeleton that incorporates a neural network to reduce material waste during production. His most cited paper, “3D Printed Hand Exoskeleton - Own Concept” (2019), has garnered 17 citations, while his 2021 work on waste reduction using neural networks has been cited 11 times, reflecting growing interest in sustainable, intelligent rehabilitation systems. Kopowski’s designs are notable for their emphasis on affordability and customization, making robotic therapy more accessible to patients and clinicians alike. His 2023 paper further refines his hand exoskeleton concept, demonstrating a sustained commitment to translating engineering innovation into tangible clinical solutions.
