About
Joost Geeroms is a leading researcher in wearable robotics, specializing in the design and control of powered lower-limb prostheses and exoskeletons. His work centers on developing intelligent, energy-efficient actuation systems and robust control algorithms that enhance human-robot interaction. A key contribution is the CYBERLEGs project, where he developed a user-oriented robotic transfemoral prosthesis with whole-body awareness control (64 citations), aimed at reducing the metabolic cost of walking for amputees. Geeroms has also pioneered the use of adaptable compliant actuators, such as torque-controllable knee joints with adjustable series compliance and parallel elasticity (48 citations), which improve energy efficiency and safety. His highly cited review on gait phase detection algorithms (129 citations) and systematic review on human-in-the-loop optimization (85 citations) have become foundational references in the field, guiding the development of more responsive and personalized prosthetic devices. By integrating machine learning for locomotion mode recognition and exploring cable-based transmissions, Geeroms continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in assistive robotics, making significant strides toward restoring natural, efficient mobility for individuals with lower-limb impairments.
