About
Lotte N. S. Andreasen Struijk is a pioneering researcher whose work sits at the intersection of assistive robotics, human-machine interfaces, and rehabilitation engineering. Her research is primarily focused on developing innovative control systems that restore independence to individuals living with severe paralysis, including tetraplegia and stroke-related disabilities. Most notably, Struijk has advanced the field of tongue-based control interfaces, demonstrating that inductive tongue control systems can effectively govern complex robotic arms and prosthetic hands — work that has collectively attracted over 250 citations. Her landmark 2017 study on wireless intraoral tongue control of assistive robotic arms (78 citations) opened new pathways for tetraplegic individuals who lack viable motor control alternatives. Beyond tongue interfaces, she has explored brain-computer interfaces using steady-state visually evoked potentials, sEMG-triggered functional electrical stimulation for stroke rehabilitation, and computer vision for semi-autonomous robotic control. Her 2020 hybrid FES-robotic system for stroke patients reflects her commitment to translational, patient-centered innovation. Struijk's user-centered design philosophy — evidenced by her work exploring real-world exoskeleton requirements with paralyzed users — distinguishes her as a researcher deeply committed to meaningful clinical impact.
