About
Rohit Rangwani is a researcher at the intersection of neural engineering and human-machine interaction, with a primary focus on restoring and modulating proprioception—the body’s innate sense of movement and position. His work addresses critical challenges in neurorehabilitation and prosthetic control, where sensory deficits often hinder motor adaptation. Rangwani’s most cited paper (2021, 26 citations) introduces a novel method for inducing proprioceptive illusions via transcutaneous electrical stimulation, offering a non-invasive pathway to retrain the nervous system after neurotrauma or neurodegenerative disease. In a related study (2019, 12 citations), he demonstrated how vibration-induced proprioceptive modulation can enhance surface-EMG control of a robotic arm, reducing reliance on visual feedback for smoother, more intuitive operation. These contributions are foundational for advancing closed-loop prosthetics and teleoperation systems. By merging sensory illusion techniques with practical robotic control, Rangwani’s work paves the way for more natural, adaptive assistive technologies—a vital step toward restoring agency for individuals with sensorimotor impairments.
