About
Mohamed Bouri is a pioneering robotics researcher whose work sits at the intersection of rehabilitation engineering, human-machine interfaces, and advanced control systems. Based at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), he has made transformative contributions to the design and control of wearable robotic systems for human locomotion assistance and recovery. Bouri's most influential work, a comprehensive review of control strategies for active lower-limb prosthetics and orthotics (2015), has accumulated over 1,050 citations, establishing him as a leading authority in the field. His early development of the WalkTrainer and MotionMaker rehabilitation systems demonstrated his commitment to translating robotic innovation into tangible clinical tools for patients with motor disabilities. His Lambda Robot concept further expanded possibilities for lower-limb mobilization in fitness and post-surgical recovery. Beyond rehabilitation, Bouri has contributed to brain-machine interface research, developing EEG-based movement decoding systems and brain-controlled exoskeletons tested in primate models. His advanced control work — including model-free iterative learning control and super-twisting sliding mode controllers — reflects deep expertise in robust robotic manipulation. Remarkably, his contributions even extend to astrophysics instrumentation, with involvement in the DESI telescope's 5,020-robot fiber positioning system. Across disciplines, Bouri's research consistently demonstrates both technical rigor and meaningful real-world impact.
