About

Nikos Petrellis is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of biomedical instrumentation and assistive technology. His primary research focus is the design of low-cost, multi-purpose surface-electromyography (EMG) readout systems, with a particular emphasis on applications that require practical, rather than high-precision, control. His most cited paper, "Design of a Multi-purpose Surface-EMG Readout System for Draft Control Applications" (2019), introduces a versatile platform for capturing muscle activity. This system is specifically tailored for low-accuracy control environments, making it highly suitable for real-world assistive contexts such as stroke rehabilitation, ambient assisted living for the elderly, and remote robotic manipulation. By prioritizing accessibility and adaptability over clinical-grade precision, Petrellis’s work addresses a critical gap in bringing bio-signal control out of the lab and into everyday life. While his citation count is currently modest, his contributions are foundational to the development of practical, user-friendly interfaces that can empower individuals with limited mobility, highlighting a commitment to engineering solutions with a direct social impact.
