About

Sohrab Najafian is a researcher in mechanical and rehabilitation engineering, with a primary focus on the design and development of assistive robotic systems. His key research areas include exoskeleton technology, upper limb rehabilitation robotics, and human-robot interaction for power augmentation. Najafian’s most notable contribution is his work on a one-degree-of-freedom upper limb exoskeleton, which bridges the gap between rehabilitation aids and broader applications such as haptic systems and virtual reality. This foundational paper has garnered 15 citations, reflecting its early influence in the field of lightweight, accessible robotic assistive devices. By addressing the growing needs of aging populations and individuals with physical weakness, Najafian’s research emphasizes practical, low-complexity solutions that can be adapted for both clinical and industrial use. His work stands out for its focus on simplifying exoskeleton design without compromising functionality, making it a valuable reference for students and engineers developing cost-effective rehabilitation technologies.
