About
Te-Jen Su is a robotics researcher whose work centers on rehabilitation robotics, pneumatic actuation, and safety-critical control systems. His most cited paper, "Hardware Development and Safety Control Strategy Design for a Mobile Rehabilitation Robot" (2022, 15 citations), addresses a critical challenge in gait training: the limitations imposed by bodyweight unloading systems and manual therapist assistance. By developing a prototype mobile rehabilitation robot with a dedicated safety controller, Su enables more natural, unrestricted walking patterns during therapy—directly improving patient training outcomes. In his related work, "Design and Control of 6-DOF Robotic Manipulator Driven by Pneumatic Muscles and Motor" (2021, 4 citations), Su explores hybrid actuation by combining pneumatic muscle actuators (PMAs) with electric motors. This innovative approach leverages the unique properties of PMAs—their fiber-wrapped construction and reversible deformation—to achieve compliant, muscle-like motion while maintaining precision through motor control. Su’s contributions bridge the gap between safe human-robot interaction and effective therapeutic intervention, making him a notable figure in assistive robotics and soft actuation.
