About

Ramesh Ramasamy is a researcher whose work lies at the intersection of soft robotics, biomedical engineering, and computational mechanics. His primary research focus is on the development and numerical modelling of Pneumatic Artificial Muscles (PAMs)—compliant actuators that mimic biological muscle for use in rehabilitation and assistive devices. Ramasamy’s key contribution is the application of the Finite Element (FE) Method to simulate the complex, nonlinear behaviour of PAMs, enabling a deeper understanding of how these actuators generate force during motion. His foundational 2005 paper, "An Application of Finite Element Modelling to Pneumatic Artificial Muscle," has garnered 18 citations, establishing a framework for subsequent computational studies in the field. He further explored the translational potential of this technology in his 2007 work, "Pneumatic Artificial Muscle in Biomedical Applications" (11 citations), highlighting its promise for safe, human-friendly actuation in prosthetics and orthotics. By bridging detailed numerical analysis with practical biomedical use, Ramasamy has provided essential tools for designing more efficient, controllable soft actuators. His research continues to inform engineers and clinicians seeking to integrate compliant, muscle-like systems into next-generation medical devices.
