About

Moein Forouhar is a robotics researcher whose work bridges the gap between autonomous systems and human rehabilitation. His primary research areas include novel robotic locomotion, hybrid rehabilitation exoskeletons, and shared human-robot control. Forouhar made a notable contribution to the field of unconventional robotics with his 2019 paper "Introducing GyroSym: a single-wheel robot," which explores gyroscopic stabilization for a dynamically challenging platform. His most impactful work, however, lies in neurorehabilitation. In his 2023 study "Model-Based Shared Control of a Hybrid FES-Exoskeleton," Forouhar addresses a critical limitation in robotic therapy: the inability of exoskeletons to directly stimulate neural pathways. By integrating functional electrical stimulation (FES) with an exoskeleton, he developed a hybrid system that combines external mechanical support with direct muscle activation. This model-based shared control approach allows for participant-specific rehabilitation, potentially improving recovery outcomes for individuals with sensory-motor deficits. With his papers accumulating citations in the single digits, Forouhar is an emerging researcher whose work on hybrid rehabilitation systems represents a promising direction for more effective, neuro-integrated robotic therapy.
