About

Sri Kurniawan is a leading researcher at the intersection of soft robotics, rehabilitation engineering, and human-robot interaction. His work focuses on developing lightweight, portable wearable robots—particularly soft exosuits—to restore upper-extremity function for stroke survivors and individuals with motor impairments. His most cited paper, "A Soft Exosuit for Flexible Upper-Extremity Rehabilitation" (127 citations), demonstrates how compliant, cable-driven designs can correct patients’ proprioceptive perceptions to aid recovery. Kurniawan also pioneered the integration of immersive virtual reality with actuated soft exosuits, as seen in "Project Butterfly" (30 citations), creating engaging, personalized therapy experiences. His research extends to biomimetic fabrication, including a 3D-printed robotic finger with accurate bone and ligament geometry, and to human-robot teaching, exploring how agent expressivity affects learning. Earlier work on an assistive living robot for remote monitoring of older adults highlights his commitment to accessible, real-world assistive technologies. With a growing citation record and contributions spanning deep reinforcement learning for VR exergames to multi-material 3D printing, Kurniawan’s work is shaping the future of rehabilitation robotics and human-centered wearable systems.
