About
Frederik Victor Kobbelgaard is a researcher dedicated to restoring independence for individuals living with severe paralysis, with a primary focus on assistive robotics and human-centered design. His key research areas include upper-limb exoskeletons, alternative control interfaces, and user-centered design methodologies. Kobbelgaard’s major contributions lie in bridging the gap between advanced robotic hardware and real-world usability. His most cited work, "Exploring User Requirements for an Exoskeleton Arm" (2021, 16 citations), established critical user needs through direct engagement with people living with severe paralysis. He further advanced the field by developing a novel tongue-control interface for a five-DOF upper-limb exoskeleton, enabling users to perform essential activities like drinking and eating independently (2022, 11 citations). Kobbelgaard also pioneered innovative design methods, creating a design game to explore the daily artefact ecologies of users paralyzed from the neck down (2020, 10 citations). His work is notable for its strong commitment to user-centered design, ensuring that technological advancements translate into meaningful improvements in quality of life.
