About
Changho Yu is a leading researcher in medical microrobotics and assistive robotic systems, with a focus on developing innovative solutions for minimally invasive procedures and human mobility enhancement. His work spans two key areas: magnetically controlled microrobots for vascular interventions and powered exoskeletons for elderly assistance. Yu's most impactful contribution is the multifunctional robotic guidewire system featuring a spiral-type magnetic microrobot (2016, 8 citations), which demonstrated precise swimming and navigation under low-Reynolds-number conditions in blood vessel models—a critical step toward autonomous endovascular surgery. He also pioneered a powered ankle exoskeleton (2013, 6 citations) that provides plantarflexion torque assistance, directly addressing age-related mobility decline. Most recently, Yu achieved selective-collective locomotion control of helical magnetic swimmers within confined channels (2024, 2 citations), overcoming a longstanding challenge in controlling identical microrobots for targeted drug delivery. His work bridges fundamental fluid dynamics with practical clinical applications, earning recognition for advancing both microrobot swarm control and assistive wearable technology.
