About
Nikolina Puleva is a researcher focused on advancing physical human-robot interaction, particularly in the context of wearable rehabilitation robotics. Her key contributions lie in developing practical, cost-effective sensing solutions that bridge the gap between theoretical concepts and real-world applications. Her most cited work, "Estimation of Physical Human-Robot Interaction Using Cost-Effective Pneumatic Padding" (2016, 7 citations), introduces a novel method for estimating interaction forces by integrating pneumatic padding into rehabilitation robots. This approach addresses a longstanding challenge—translating the idea of affordable, compliant sensing into a functional, reproducible system—thereby enabling more intuitive and safer human-robot collaboration. Puleva’s work is notable for its emphasis on accessibility and practicality, making advanced robotic rehabilitation technologies more viable for broader clinical and home use. Her research continues to impact the fields of soft robotics and assistive technology, offering a foundation for future innovations in human-centered robotic design.
