About

Moutaz M. Hegaze is a pioneering researcher in mechatronic systems and rehabilitation engineering, with a focused expertise in the development of assistive robotic technologies for neuromuscular rehabilitation. His most notable contribution is the design and development of the "SAMA" upper-limb exoskeleton, a groundbreaking assistive rehabilitation device that integrates interdisciplinary mechatronic principles to address long-standing technological challenges in human-robot interaction. This work, published in 2022, has already garnered 9 citations, reflecting its growing influence in the field of modern rehabilitation engineering. Earlier in his career, Hegaze made foundational contributions to flexible manipulator dynamics, as demonstrated by his 1997 paper on a dynamic model of a single-link flexible manipulator using the assumed mode method. This work, with 3 citations, laid important groundwork for improving the productivity and control of flexible robot manipulators. Hegaze’s research bridges the gap between theoretical dynamics and practical assistive device development, positioning him as a key figure in advancing both rehabilitation robotics and flexible manipulator control. His work continues to inspire new approaches to upper-limb exoskeleton design and dynamic modeling.
