About
Hyosang Moon is a leading researcher in rehabilitation robotics and human–robot interaction, with a focus on exoskeleton systems and assistive technologies. His most influential work centers on the Sogang University Biomedical Assist Robot (SUBAR), an advanced wearable exoskeleton designed to assist physically impaired individuals by delivering assistive forces controlled by human intention. In his seminal 2009 paper on impedance compensation for SUBAR, which has garnered 89 citations, Moon introduced a back-drivable force-mode actuation method that significantly improves control transparency and user comfort. He further pioneered a novel control algorithm inspired by aquatic therapy, enabling exoskeletons to replicate the buoyancy and resistance effects of water for more natural rehabilitation—a concept detailed in his 2010 work with 31 citations. Beyond lower-limb exoskeletons, Moon has contributed to the kinematic synthesis of multi-fingered robotic hands and the reconstruction of human hand motion using low-cost sensor gloves, with applications in anthropomorphic task design. His research also includes spatial non-anthropomorphic system design and interactive torque monitoring via disturbance observers. With a career spanning over a decade, Moon’s work has laid critical groundwork for safer, more intuitive robotic rehabilitation devices.
