About

Wan Zharfan Bin Wan Zainal Abiddin is a researcher dedicated to advancing paediatric neurorehabilitation through the integration of robotics and real-time sensing technologies. His work focuses on developing accessible, autonomous systems that enable children with disabilities to perform rehabilitation exercises remotely. His most cited paper, "Development of Robot-Human Imitation Program for Telerehabilitation System" (2018, 4 citations), introduces a humanoid robot that mimics patient movements to guide therapy sessions, reducing the need for constant clinical supervision. In a complementary study, "Real-time paediatric neurorehabilitation system" (2017, 4 citations), he designed a system combining the NAO humanoid robot with Microsoft Kinect sensors to deliver real-time, internet-connected rehabilitation for paediatric patients. These contributions highlight his commitment to making therapy more efficient and widely accessible, particularly for children with motor or neurological impairments. By leveraging affordable, off-the-shelf robotics and motion-capture technology, Abiddin’s work lays a foundation for scalable, home-based rehabilitation solutions. His research represents a meaningful step toward democratizing neurorehabilitation, offering young patients greater independence and continuity of care beyond traditional clinical settings.
