About
Sanghun Pyo is a robotics and rehabilitation engineering researcher whose work bridges human-centered robotic design with clinical applications in motor recovery. His research spans three primary domains: robotic gait rehabilitation, trunk rehabilitation systems, and industrial manipulator control interfaces. Among his most significant contributions is the development of haptic-based robotic systems for overground gait rehabilitation, particularly targeting chronic stroke patients who retain partial mobility but require targeted lower-limb therapy. His 2020 robotic companion system, which delivers somatosensory augmentation through haptic force interaction, has garnered 21 citations and represents a notable advancement in accessible rehabilitation technology. Pyo has also made substantial contributions to trunk rehabilitation robotics, investigating how varying seat surfaces, leg support conditions, and visual inputs affect seated balance and muscle activation, with multiple papers in this area accumulating dozens of citations collectively. Earlier in his career, he developed biomechanically inspired lower-limb exoskeletons and lightweight robotic knee orthoses optimized for overground use. His work on smartphone-based control architectures for industrial manipulators reflects his broader interest in intuitive human-robot interaction. Across more than a decade of research, Pyo has established himself as a versatile contributor to both clinical rehabilitation robotics and practical industrial automation.
