About
Mehmet Emin Aktan is a leading researcher in rehabilitation robotics, specializing in the design and intelligent control of robotic systems for physical medicine. His primary research areas include robotic-assisted therapy for wrist, forearm, ankle, and lower extremity rehabilitation, with a strong emphasis on impedance and hybrid impedance control strategies. Aktan’s major contribution is the development of DIAGNOBOT, a novel robotic platform for diagnosis and treatment of wrist and forearm injuries, which integrates intelligent controllers with decision support systems to guide therapy. His work on hybrid impedance control for rehabilitation robots has been highly influential, with his most cited paper, “Hybrid impedance control of a robot manipulator for wrist and forearm rehabilitation,” garnering 89 citations. Aktan has also pioneered the integration of virtual reality and telerehabilitation into exoskeleton-based therapy, addressing critical challenges such as connection stability and safety supervision through biomedical signal interpretation. His recent projects include a lower limb exoskeleton for VR-based telerehabilitation and an ankle rehabilitation robot, demonstrating his commitment to advancing accessible, data-driven physiotherapy. With a growing portfolio of publications, Aktan continues to shape the future of robot-aided rehabilitation.
