About

Roseleena Jaafar is a pioneering researcher in biomechatronics and assistive robotics, with a primary focus on developing intelligent, biomimetic prosthetic devices and surgical safety systems. Her most impactful work addresses critical challenges in orthopaedic surgery and rehabilitation engineering. Jaafar’s landmark study on a “Real-time Algorithm for Detection of Breakthrough Bone Drilling” (2012, 30 citations) introduced a force control algorithm that automatically halts drilling upon bone breakthrough, significantly enhancing patient safety in orthopaedic procedures. She has made substantial contributions to prosthetic hand technology, notably through the “Design and Development of a Multifingered Prosthetic Hand” (2011, 30 citations) and the “Hybrid-Actuated Finger Prosthesis with Tactile Sensing” (2013, 20 citations), which integrate tendon-driven mechanisms and tactile feedback to achieve dexterous, human-like grip and manipulation. Her work on the “Design and control of a multifingered anthropomorphic robotic hand” (2011, 12 citations) further advanced biomimetic actuation using micro servo-motors and pulley systems. Jaafar’s research, including the development of the UiTM Robotic Prosthetic Hand, has laid crucial groundwork for safer surgical tools and more functional, sensor-rich prosthetic limbs, directly impacting clinical practice and assistive technology design.
