About

Mohammad Mozaffari Foumashi is a pioneering roboticist whose work sits at the intersection of mechanical design, rehabilitation engineering, and human-robot interaction. His research focuses on developing novel robotic systems for both industrial inspection and medical rehabilitation. In his highly cited 2014 work (49 citations), he introduced an innovative in-pipe inspection robot that leverages omnidirectional wheels with active stabilization, offering superior maneuverability and control within complex piping networks—a significant contribution to infrastructure maintenance robotics. On the rehabilitation side, Foumashi’s 2013 paper (36 citations) presents an EMG-driven robotic hand exoskeleton for bilateral grasp training in stroke patients, enabling intuitive force control through muscle signals. This work is complemented by his comprehensive 2011 state-of-the-art review of hand exoskeleton systems (26 citations), which has served as a foundational resource for researchers entering the field. Additionally, his involvement in the BRAVO project explores brain-computer interfaces for visuomotor tasks, pushing the boundaries of assistive robotics. With a career bridging practical mechanical innovation and life-changing rehabilitation technology, Foumashi’s contributions continue to inspire advances in both industrial and medical robotics.
