About
Saikat Pal is a leading researcher in biomechanics and rehabilitation engineering, with a core focus on human-robot interaction during exoskeletal-assisted locomotion. His work is pivotal in advancing the clinical translation of robotic exoskeletons for individuals with neurological disorders and mobility impairments. Dr. Pal’s major contributions include developing subject-specific virtual simulators and computational frameworks to quantify joint forces—specifically at the hip, knee, and ankle—during exoskeletal-assisted walking. His 2023 study, cited 9 times, provided the first controlled comparison of exoskeletal-assisted versus unassisted locomotion using an FDA-approved device, revealing critical dynamics for device optimization. His 2025 work further refined these methods, offering a novel approach to simulate human-robot interactions and accurately predict joint loading. By bridging experimental data with computational modeling, Dr. Pal’s research directly informs safer, more effective exoskeleton design and personalized rehabilitation protocols. His achievements are instrumental in unlocking the full potential of robotic assistive technology, making him a key figure in the future of mobility restoration.
