About

Wajdi Sadik Aboud is a researcher at the forefront of rehabilitation robotics, specializing in the design and control of smart robotic exoskeletons for therapeutic applications. His work primarily targets the restoration of activities of daily living (ADL) for patients recovering from stroke, spinal cord injury, and other motor impairments. Aboud’s major contributions include the development of a 3-DOF smart robotic exoskeleton for wrist-forearm rehabilitation, a system that leverages motor learning principles to guide programmed exercise therapy. His most cited paper on this topic has garnered 15 citations, reflecting its relevance in the field. He has also extended his approach to lower-limb rehabilitation, constructing a 3D-printed exoskeleton for ankle-foot recovery, and has addressed fundamental challenges in robot control, such as adaptive control with velocity estimation and bounded torque for manipulators. By integrating 3D printing techniques into exoskeleton fabrication, Aboud is advancing accessible, customizable rehabilitation technologies. His research bridges mechanical design, control theory, and clinical need, offering practical solutions for restoring mobility and independence in patients with neurological conditions.
