About
Vlad Ciobanu is a robotics researcher whose work centers on tactile sensing, robot manipulation, and rehabilitation technology. His primary research areas include biomimetic tactile sensors, telemanipulation systems, and haptic interfaces for medical applications. Ciobanu’s major contributions involve developing tactile controllers using fuzzy logic for autonomous in-hand manipulation, enabling robots to grasp and handle objects with greater precision. He also designed a robot telemanipulation system that captures human motion to guide robotic arms and hands, reducing planning complexity. His work on preprocessing pipelines for tactile sensor data has improved signal reliability for downstream tasks. With over 29 citations across his most-cited papers, Ciobanu’s research has practical impact in both industrial robotics and healthcare. Notably, he proposed an intelligent haptic robotic glove for post-stroke hand rehabilitation, addressing cerebrovascular accident recovery through predefined exercise routines. More recently, he has explored mechanical and electromechanical optimizations for wheelchairs to restore mobility in individuals with severe locomotor disabilities. Ciobanu’s interdisciplinary approach bridges robotics, sensor design, and assistive technology, making his work relevant for students and researchers interested in human-robot interaction and rehabilitation engineering.
