About

Gayeon Lee is a pioneering researcher in soft wearable robotics, with a primary focus on developing fabric-based pneumatic artificial muscles for assistive and rehabilitative applications. Her most notable contribution is the creation of a soft wearable robotic garment designed to support lumbar muscle function and improve postural alignment, addressing critical needs in ergonomics and rehabilitation. By engineering cell-structured fabric pneumatic artificial muscles (cfPAMs) from lightweight thermoplastic polyurethane-coated nylon fabrics, Lee has advanced the field toward more comfortable, breathable, and effective wearable technologies. Her work, published in 2025 and already garnering 5 citations, demonstrates early impact in a rapidly growing area of human-robot interaction. Lee’s innovations are particularly significant for individuals with muscle weakness or postural issues, offering a non-restrictive alternative to rigid exoskeletons. Her research bridges materials science, biomechanics, and soft robotics, positioning her as an emerging leader in wearable assistive devices. With a clear trajectory toward real-world applications, Gayeon Lee’s contributions are poised to shape the future of soft robotic garments for health and mobility.
