Ozgur Ege Aydogan

I am Ozgur Ege Aydogan, a Fulbright PhD Scholar (Fall 2026 Cohort) and robotics engineer dedicated to restoring and augmenting human mobility through neuroadaptive wearable systems. I bridge soft robotics, biomechanics, and neural decoding to create assistive technologies that respond intelligently to the needs of individuals with motor impairments.

​​

In 2025, I was selected as a Fulbright PhD Scholar (Fall 2026 Cohort) to pursue doctoral research in wearable robotics and neuroengineering in the United States.

​

I worked as a research assistant at Osaka University’s Department of Neurosurgery, where I am developing a real-time BCI system for robotic arm control in post-stroke rehabilitation, under the supervision of Professor Takufumi Yanagisawa in Yanagisawa Laboratory. I integrate EEG-based intention decoding with robotic manipulation to enable intuitive, user-driven recovery pathways.

​​

I hold a Master’s degree in Robotics Engineering from Osaka University, where I conducted research in the Hosoda Laboratory (Adaptive Robotics Group) under Professors Koh Hosoda and Professor Kensuke Harada. My research focused on bio-inspired musculoskeletal quadruped robots actuated by pneumatic artificial muscles, exploring adaptive locomotion through biomechanics and soft actuation strategies.

​​

I began my academic journey at Yildiz Technical University, where I led the development of a 4-DOF robotic exoskeleton for upper-limb rehabilitation under the supervision of Professor Erhan Akdogan in the Biomechatronics Research Laboratory. This project received national recognition and laid the foundation for my continued research in human-centered assistive robotics. I later mentored a follow-up project on EMG-driven impedance control and adaptive load suspension systems.

​

My long-term vision is to pioneer the next generation of wearable neuroprosthetics and robotic systems that seamlessly integrate brain, muscle, and machine, enabling transformative rehabilitation, human augmentation, and expanded mobility for all.
