About
Josep M. Font-Llagunes is a prominent biomedical engineer and robotics researcher whose work sits at the intersection of biomechanics, rehabilitation robotics, and assistive technology. Best known for his contributions to lower-limb exoskeleton research, his 2021 systematic review on wearable exoskeletons for gait training in neuromuscular impairments has become a landmark reference in the field, accumulating over 420 citations and establishing him as a leading voice in rehabilitation engineering. His 2023 systematic review on exoskeleton control strategies following brain injury (115 citations) further demonstrates his sustained influence on clinical robotics. Font-Llagunes has moved fluidly between theory and application — from foundational work on bipedal walking dynamics and mobile robot localization in the mid-2000s, to the design, control, and clinical evaluation of practical exoskeleton systems for spinal cord injury and stroke rehabilitation. His 2019 lightweight modular exoskeleton and subsequent clinical studies on adaptive knee exoskeleton training reflect a commitment to translating engineering innovation into tangible patient benefit. His research on inertial sensors for adaptive gait control further highlights his focus on intelligent, personalized rehabilitation systems. Across disciplines and decades, Font-Llagunes has consistently advanced the science of restoring human mobility.
