About

Panagiotis E. Antoniou is at the forefront of neurorehabilitation and educational robotics, pioneering synergistic human-machine interfaces that restore motor function and transform STEM learning. His major contributions center on the NeuroSuitUp platform—a wearable robotics system integrating sensorized jackets and soft robotic gloves with serious games to promote dormant neuroplasticity in spinal cord injury patients. This work, validated in a 2023 study (13 citations), demonstrates a novel body-machine interface for self-paced rehabilitation. Antoniou further advanced soft robotics through the integration and validation of wearable robotic gloves for hand sensorimotor recovery (2025, 7 citations), and has shown clinical promise in a nonrandomized controlled trial protocol (2022, 8 citations). Beyond rehabilitation, he champions co-creative methodologies in educational robotics, engaging learners with STEM through hands-on, collaborative design (2019, 9 citations). With a cumulative impact exceeding 37 citations across these key works, Antoniou’s research bridges engineering, neuroscience, and pedagogy, offering scalable solutions for both clinical recovery and early science education. His work stands as a testament to the power of interdisciplinary innovation in addressing societal challenges.
