About
Norsinnira Zainul Azlan is a robotics and biomedical engineering researcher whose work spans rehabilitation robotics, soft robotics, intelligent control systems, and wearable sensing technologies. She has made significant contributions to the development of assist-as-needed (AAN) control strategies for upper-limb rehabilitation, with her foundational 2019 paper accumulating 53 citations and establishing her as a notable voice in promoting active patient participation for motor recovery. Her research extends to pneumatic artificial muscle-driven robotic hands, where she has advanced nonlinear adaptive backstepping control algorithms for precise grasping and force regulation. Azlan has also contributed to mobile robotics, including a widely cited review of mecanum wheel robot prototypes, and to intelligent systems education, with her early work on fuzzy logic-controlled LEGO robots earning recognition in undergraduate engineering training. More recently, her investigations into wearable strain sensors and screen-printed piezoresistive devices reflect a growing focus on flexible, low-cost solutions for healthcare and human-machine interaction. With a cumulative citation profile exceeding 200, her interdisciplinary research bridges control engineering, rehabilitation medicine, and sensor technology, offering impactful tools for improving the quality of life for individuals with physical disabilities.
