About
Kilian Baur is a leading researcher at the intersection of rehabilitation robotics, human-robot interaction, and gamified neurorehabilitation. His work centers on making therapy more engaging and effective through multiplayer and haptic feedback systems. Baur’s major contributions include pioneering the use of robot-assisted multiplayer games to boost patient motivation, as demonstrated in his highly cited systematic review (70 citations) on health-related multiplayer games. He developed the “Beam-Me-In Strategy” for remote haptic therapist-patient interaction (27 citations), enabling therapists to physically feel a patient’s limitations over distance. Baur also explored integrating music into robotic therapy to enhance motivation (21 citations) and created adaptive compensation algorithms for the ARMin rehabilitation robot (30 citations). His research on performance-based viscous force fields for strength training (10 citations) and skill-balancing damping forces in multiplayer training (21 citations) further advanced personalized therapy. Notably, Baur contributed to the CYBATHLON, a bionic Olympics benchmarking assistive technologies (8 citations), and assessed social robot readiness in European healthcare (23 citations). With over 230 total citations, Baur’s work is reshaping how technology can make rehabilitation more interactive, social, and effective.
