About
William Sansom is a leading researcher in rehabilitation robotics and human-robot interaction, with a focus on developing intelligent assistive technologies for motor recovery. His work centers on variable admittance control and virtual reality (VR)-based rehabilitation, aiming to make robotic therapy more adaptive, engaging, and patient-centered. His most-cited paper, "Variable Admittance Control of a Hand Exoskeleton for Virtual Reality-Based Rehabilitation Tasks" (2022), with 51 citations, introduces a novel framework that dynamically adjusts robotic assistance based on user performance and intent, enhancing both safety and motivation during therapy. This contribution is pivotal in bridging the gap between rigid robotic assistance and natural human movement, offering a more intuitive and effective rehabilitation experience. Sansom’s research has significant implications for stroke and injury recovery, demonstrating how user-friendly robotic systems can improve patient engagement and outcomes. His work is widely recognized for its practical impact, helping to advance the field of rehabilitation engineering toward more personalized and interactive therapeutic solutions.
