About
Svetlana Grosu is a leading researcher in rehabilitation and assistive robotics, with a focus on designing intelligent, human-centered mechatronic systems. Her work centers on developing novel actuation and sensing technologies that enable safer, more effective human-robot interaction. She is best known for her contributions to smart modular variable stiffness actuators, multi-axis force sensors, and cable-based transmission systems for powered orthoses and exoskeletons. Her 2017 paper on variable stiffness actuators has garnered 83 citations, and her work on force sensing for rehabilitation robots has been cited 50 times, underscoring its influence in the field. Grosu has also been instrumental in the CORBYS project, where she developed torque control and real-time architectures for gait rehabilitation robots. Her research addresses critical challenges in wearable robotics, such as balancing powerful actuation with lightweight, transparent systems. By instrumenting complex exoskeletons and improving human-robot collaboration, Grosu’s work directly enhances the quality of life for individuals with mobility impairments, making her a key figure in the advancement of assistive robotic technologies.
