About
Heedon Lee is a leading figure in the field of wearable robotics, with a primary focus on the design and control of exoskeleton systems for human power assistance and rehabilitation. His research centers on physical human-robot interaction (pHRI), aiming to create intuitive, cooperative control strategies that seamlessly augment human strength. Lee’s major contributions include the development of the Hanyang Exoskeleton Assistive Robot (HEXAR) series, notably the HEXAR-CR50, a lower extremity exoskeleton designed for load carriage. This system employs a quasi-anthropomorphic design with seven degrees of freedom per leg, carefully selected based on human joint function to enhance the wearer’s muscle strength. His foundational work, "The technical trend of the exoskeleton robot system for human power assistance," has garnered 190 citations, establishing it as a key reference in the field. Lee’s innovative human-robot interfacing methods, which utilize multi-axis load-cells to measure relative forces, have been instrumental in advancing upper extremity assistive devices. Through his pioneering work at Hanyang University, Lee has significantly shaped the trajectory of exoskeleton technology, making substantial strides toward practical, strength-amplifying wearable robots.
