About

Young-Jae Rue’s research lies at the intersection of human–machine interaction, assistive technology, and biomechanics, with a focus on developing intuitive control interfaces for individuals with limited hand or wrist mobility. His most cited work, “Using the Motion of the Head-Neck as a Joystick for Orientation Control” (2019, 14 citations), pioneers the use of head-neck movements as a joystick for orientation tasks, systematically comparing their performance to traditional hand-wrist control. By quantifying the anatomical and kinematic capabilities of the head-neck system, Rue demonstrates that this alternative interface can effectively command orientation tasks, offering a promising solution for users with upper-limb impairments. His contributions bridge ergonomics and rehabilitation engineering, providing a foundation for accessible, hands-free control in applications ranging from assistive robotics to virtual reality. Rue’s work has been cited in studies on alternative input devices and human motion analysis, underscoring its relevance to inclusive design. Through rigorous experimental validation, he advances the understanding of how non-hand body segments can serve as reliable control inputs, opening new pathways for assistive technology and human–computer interaction.
