About
Larisa Dunai is a leading researcher in assistive and industrial electronics, with a focus on developing technologies that enhance human mobility and safety. Her key contributions span wearable systems for the visually impaired, prosthetic robotics, and intelligent walkers for aging populations. Dunai’s most cited work, “Obstacle detectors for visually impaired people” (2014, 39 citations), reviews Electronic Travel Aid Systems and introduces the Cognitive Aid System for Blind People (CASBliP), a wearable device developed under a European project. She has also advanced prosthetic design by creating a robotic hand based on human anatomy, using scanned phalanges for realistic movement (2020, 11 citations). In industrial electronics, her cross-disciplinary review (2021, 10 citations) highlights the field’s role as a key enabling technology. More recently, Dunai has explored ergonomic and smart features in robotic walkers, evaluating stability and user detection (2025, 3 citations) and summarizing optimal design characteristics for future prototypes (2024, 3 citations). Her work bridges engineering and healthcare, aiming to improve quality of life for individuals with disabilities and the elderly. With a growing citation impact, Dunai’s research continues to shape assistive robotics and human-centered design.
