About

Bo Peng is a leading researcher in wearable assistive exoskeleton technology, with a primary focus on bridging the gap between laboratory prototypes and real-world commercial viability. His most cited work, "Toward Commercial Viability of Wearable Exoskeletons" (2025), critically examines the three-decade evolution of exoskeleton systems, identifying key technical, economic, and regulatory barriers that have hindered widespread adoption. Peng’s major contribution lies in synthesizing fragmented advances across biomechanics, materials science, and human-robot interaction to propose a unified framework for scalable, user-centered design. While his citation count is still growing, his work has already shaped industry roadmaps and informed funding priorities for assistive robotics. Peng’s research is notable for its pragmatic focus on cost reduction, energy efficiency, and user acceptance—factors essential for translating exoskeletons from rehabilitation clinics to everyday industrial and domestic use. By highlighting the disconnect between engineering achievements and market readiness, Peng provides a critical roadmap for the next generation of wearable robotics, making his work essential reading for students and researchers aiming to commercialize assistive technologies.
