About
Monan Ni is a rising figure in rehabilitation robotics, with a focused research program at the intersection of mechanical design, human-robot interaction, and biomedical signal processing. His primary contributions center on developing intelligent robotic systems for post-surgical ankle rehabilitation. In his highly cited 2024 work, Ni introduced a novel ankle fracture rehabilitation robot featuring an R-3RRS-P hybrid structure, which uniquely offers both rehabilitation training and passive motion modes to address functional recovery after fracture surgery. Building on this foundation, his 2025 paper—already garnering significant attention—presents a groundbreaking active-passive fusion rehabilitation method. This work leverages surface electromyography (sEMG) to develop a subject-independent continuous estimation model of ankle torque, coupled with an online adaptive algorithm that seamlessly transitions between active and passive training modes. With his papers accumulating citations rapidly for such recent publications, Ni is establishing himself as a key innovator in personalized, sensor-driven rehabilitation technology. His work promises to transform post-operative care by making robotic therapy more adaptive, intuitive, and effective for individual patient needs.
