About
Dr. Hae-Yong Park is a pioneering researcher in the emerging field of bio-robotics and neural control systems, with a primary focus on developing animal-machine interfaces. His most notable contribution is the creation of a novel rat robot controlled by electrical stimulation of the nigrostriatal pathway, a breakthrough that bypasses traditional reward-based training methods. This work, published in 2020 and garnering 12 citations, demonstrates how direct neural modulation can harness an animal’s innate sensory and motor capabilities for precise movement control. Dr. Park’s research addresses fundamental challenges in cyborg animal systems, offering a more direct and efficient approach to guiding animal behavior compared to conventional virtual reward paradigms. His innovative methodology has significant implications for search-and-rescue operations, environmental monitoring, and neurological research, as it leverages the natural agility of animals while minimizing training time. By integrating neuroscience with robotics, Dr. Park has opened new avenues for studying brain-machine interactions and advancing practical applications of bio-hybrid systems.
