About
Banu Kuran is a leading researcher in the field of rehabilitation robotics, with a particular focus on developing intelligent assistive technologies for upper-limb therapy. Her work centers on the design and control of robotic manipulators that aid in the recovery of motor function following neurological injury or musculoskeletal disorders. Kuran’s most significant contribution is her pioneering research on hybrid impedance control, which seamlessly integrates force and position control to enable safe, adaptive, and patient-specific rehabilitation. Her landmark 2017 study, which has garnered 89 citations, provided both rigorous performance analysis and compelling clinical results, demonstrating the efficacy of this approach for wrist and forearm rehabilitation. This work has been instrumental in bridging the gap between theoretical control systems and practical therapeutic applications, offering a robust framework for developing next-generation rehabilitation robots that can respond dynamically to patient needs. Through her innovative engineering solutions and commitment to clinical validation, Kuran has established herself as a key figure in advancing human-robot interaction for medical recovery, making her research essential reading for students and professionals in biomechatronics and physical therapy technology.
