About

Dr. Juan Yang is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics and therapeutic healthcare, with a primary focus on the emerging field of robotic massage systems. Her landmark work, "Robotics in Massage: A Systematic Review" (2024), which has already garnered 10 citations, represents the first comprehensive synthesis of evidence on robot-assisted massage—a critical contribution that fills a significant gap in the literature. By systematically identifying and summarizing studies on robotic massage technologies, Dr. Yang has established a foundational framework for future innovation in this niche but rapidly growing domain. Her research not only maps the current landscape of robotic therapeutic touch but also highlights key technical challenges and clinical opportunities, bridging engineering and rehabilitation science. This work has positioned her as a leading voice in human-robot interaction for wellness applications, with implications for physical therapy, elder care, and sports medicine. Dr. Yang’s systematic approach and clear-eyed analysis provide an essential roadmap for researchers and engineers aiming to develop safe, effective, and empathetic robotic systems for therapeutic massage.
