About
Dr. Yujin Gong is a leading researcher in rehabilitation robotics and assistive technologies, with a primary focus on functional electrical stimulation (FES) and human–machine interfaces for individuals with spinal cord injuries (SCI). Her most notable contribution is the development of a novel FES-based robotic bike, detailed in her 2021 paper, which integrates a fatigue-compensation algorithm and specialized mechanical design to enable pilots with complete paralysis to drive a bike using only their own stimulated leg muscles. This work was showcased at the Cybathlon 2020 competition, where her intelligent system allowed a pilot with SCI to complete the demanding FES bike race—a landmark achievement demonstrating the practical viability of closed-loop FES control for real-world mobility. While her citation count is still growing (4 citations for this flagship paper), the work represents a significant step toward sustainable, accessible, and non-invasive mobility solutions. Dr. Gong’s research bridges neurorehabilitation, control engineering, and assistive robotics, with the potential to transform independence and quality of life for individuals with motor impairments.
