About
Jiyong Kim is a researcher whose work bridges rehabilitation robotics and human-robot interaction, with a particular focus on improving motor recovery after neurological injury. In a key 2022 study, Kim compared the effects of exoskeletal-type robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) in patients with ataxic versus hemiplegic stroke, providing early evidence that robotic rehabilitation can be tailored to different types of neurological impairment. This work, which has garnered 5 citations, contributes to the growing field of precision neurorehabilitation. Kim also explores the social and developmental dimensions of robotics, as seen in a 2020 study on a physically growing robot toy agent that communicates with children through a self-growing character. This research, with 2 citations, investigates how emotional expression and prolonged interaction with a robot companion can support child development. By combining clinical rehabilitation studies with socially interactive robotics, Kim’s work offers a unique perspective on how robots can serve both therapeutic and developmental roles, making contributions that are relevant to engineers, clinicians, and human-robot interaction researchers alike.
