About
Minseok Kang’s research lies at the intersection of neural engineering, soft robotics, and biomimetic actuation, with a focus on creating next-generation technologies for human augmentation and rehabilitation. His most impactful work introduces an imperceptive, reusable dermal surface EMG sensor designed for lower extremity neuro-prosthetic control and clinical assessment. This innovation directly addresses the critical challenge of integrating sEMG sensors within silicon liners worn by amputees, enabling more reliable and comfortable control of robotic legs. With 26 citations since 2023, this paper has quickly become a foundational reference in the field of prosthetic interfaces. Kang also contributed to the development of the Chemically Driven Biomimetic Modular Artificial Muscle (BiMAM), a bioinspired actuator that mimics human skeletal muscle efficiency. By combining chemical power with electronic signal control and nanoparticle-coated units, BiMAM represents a significant step toward soft, lifelike robotic systems. His work bridges fundamental materials science with practical clinical and prosthetic applications, positioning him as an emerging leader in creating seamless, intuitive interfaces between humans and machines.
