About
Naeun Byeon is a rising leader in the field of wearable robotics and geriatric rehabilitation, whose work is redefining how technology can combat age-related physical decline. Her research centers on the clinical application of hip-assist and exoskeleton robots—specifically Samsung’s EX1 and Bot Fit systems—to improve mobility, muscle function, and postural health in both older and younger adults. Byeon’s most cited study (15 citations) demonstrated that a four-week combined exercise program using the EX1 robot significantly improved functional outcomes in older adults at risk of falling, establishing a practical protocol for community-based fall prevention. She further advanced this line of inquiry with a randomized controlled trial (7 citations) validating the benefits of interval walking with Bot Fit, and a morphological study (6 citations) showing measurable quadriceps changes after just three weeks of robot-assisted training in young adults. Her most recent work (2025) explores how Bot Fit’s lumbar support function can correct sedentary sitting posture, extending her impact into ergonomics. With a growing citation footprint and a focus on translating cutting-edge wearable tech into accessible, evidence-based interventions, Byeon is shaping the future of assistive robotics for healthy aging and active living.
