About

Dr. Ahmad Khairi Abdul Wahab is a leading figure in assistive robotics and rehabilitation engineering, with a focused expertise in sensorless control systems for prosthetic devices. His most impactful work, the 2018 paper "Sensorless control system for assistive robotic ankle-foot," introduces a novel approach that eliminates the need for external sensors by employing advanced estimation algorithms. This innovation, which leverages a permanent magnet synchronous motor—a departure from conventional brushed motors—significantly enhances the reliability and cost-effectiveness of powered ankle-foot prostheses. By developing and comparing two distinct estimation algorithms, Dr. Wahab has provided a foundational framework for more intuitive and responsive assistive devices. While his citation count (4) reflects the niche and emerging nature of this field, his work is pivotal for researchers seeking to advance human-robot interaction in mobility aids. His contributions promise to improve the quality of life for individuals with lower-limb impairments, marking him as a key innovator in the intersection of control theory and biomedical engineering.
