About
Nader Rajaei is a biomechanics and human-robot interaction researcher whose work sits at the intersection of injury prevention, physical safety, and robotics. His research spans two interconnected domains: fall biomechanics and human-robot contact safety, making meaningful contributions to both clinical fall prevention and the emerging field of safe human-robot collaboration (HRC). Rajaei's early work focused on forward fall dynamics, where he developed biomechanical models and proposed practical interventions — such as longitudinal rollover strategies and compliant flooring systems — to reduce wrist and upper extremity fracture risks (2018, cited 7 and 4 times respectively). These findings have direct implications for fall prevention programs and humanoid robotics. More recently, Rajaei has pioneered injury protection databases for physical human-robot interaction, addressing the underexplored hazards posed by edged and pointed tools in robotic settings. His development of an in-vivo rabbit model to establish skin injury safety criteria (2023, 5 citations) represents a significant methodological advance, bridging experimental biology with robotics standardization. His surrogate studies for the human hand further support the development of evidence-based safety thresholds for industrial and collaborative robots. Collectively, his work, accumulating over 30 citations, provides foundational data for next-generation HRC safety standards.
