About
Rosemarie Murray is a leading researcher in assistive robotics and biomechanics, with a primary focus on developing innovative exoskeletons and robotic systems to improve mobility and postural support for individuals with neuromuscular impairments. Her most significant contributions center on the design and evaluation of the Wheelchair-mounted Robot for Active Postural Support (WRAPS), a novel robotic exoskeleton that provides active trunk support for individuals with severe trunk impairment. This work, detailed in her highly cited 2019 paper (16 citations), introduces a unique control architecture enabling limited degrees-of-freedom in the sagittal plane. Murray has also made critical contributions to understanding torso biomechanics, particularly in female adolescents with scoliosis, as demonstrated in her 2020 characterization of torso stiffness (14 citations). Her expertise extends to the design of series elastic actuators in parallel platforms, including a Stewart platform analysis (10 citations) and a lightweight powered hip exoskeleton for multi-plane assistance (8 citations, 2025). Through her research, Murray is advancing the field of human-machine interfaces, creating more responsive and effective assistive devices that promise to enhance quality of life for individuals with mobility challenges.
