About
Lek Syn Lim is a rising researcher at the intersection of assistive robotics and human-robot interaction, with a primary focus on enhancing safety and adaptability in robotic systems for individuals with motor impairments. Her work addresses two critical challenges in rehabilitation and daily assistance: mechanical safety in robot-assisted feeding and adaptive control in gait assistive robots. In her 2025 study on breakaway utensil attachments, Lim pioneered a mechanical fail-safe approach to complement existing software-based safety features, offering a novel layer of protection during unforeseen collisions in feeding tasks. This work has already garnered 3 citations, signaling early impact in the field. Additionally, she developed a Human-In-The-Loop (HITL) simulation framework for evaluating control strategies in gait assistive robots, addressing the pressing need for adaptable controllers as global populations age. This framework, published in 2025, provides a scalable platform for testing rehabilitation technologies across diverse impairment profiles. Lim’s contributions are particularly notable for bridging mechanical design with human-centered evaluation, positioning her as an emerging voice in safe, effective assistive technology.
