About

Kyungjun Choi is a leading researcher in the field of wearable robotics, with a primary focus on soft exosuits, soft actuators, and sensor systems for human-robot interaction. His most notable contribution is the development of a **soft exosuit based on fabric muscle** for upper limb assistance, which addresses the critical challenge of creating lightweight, non-restrictive wearable robots that can support arm movement without hindering natural motion. This work has garnered **24 citations** and represents a significant step toward practical, comfortable assistive devices. Choi has also pioneered the **soft inductive coil spring (SICS) strain sensor**, integrated with shape memory alloy (SMA) spring bundle actuators, enabling precise strain measurement in soft actuators—a key innovation for adaptive robotic systems. Additionally, he designed a **rugged, compact three-axis force/torque sensor** specifically for wearable robots, enhancing control and safety during human-robot interaction. With over **50 total citations** across his key publications, Choi’s work is foundational for the next generation of soft, sensor-rich wearable robots that can seamlessly assist users in daily tasks and rehabilitation.
