About
Chen Su is a leading researcher in rehabilitation robotics, specializing in the development of low-cost, lightweight exoskeletons for stroke patients. His work focuses on hybrid systems that combine pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs) with functional electrical stimulation (FES) to restore upper and lower limb function. Su’s major contributions include pioneering the RUPERT exoskeleton for reach-to-grasp training, which addresses high arm stiffness in stroke survivors, and designing a hip-knee exoskeleton integrated with FES-induced ankle muscle control for gait rehabilitation. His iterative learning control strategies have enhanced the coordination between robotic assistance and biological muscle activation, improving therapy outcomes. With over 74 citations across his most-cited papers, Su’s research has significant impact, particularly his 2017 studies on cooperative control and passive/active control strategies for leg exoskeletons. Notably, his work emphasizes affordability and portability, making rehabilitation accessible beyond clinical settings. Su’s innovative approach to merging soft robotics with neurostimulation positions him as a key figure in advancing post-stroke motor recovery, offering practical solutions for repetitive, intensive therapy.
