About

Suhyun Lee is a researcher specializing in wearable assistive robotics and rehabilitation technology, with a particular focus on improving mobility and physical function in older adults and individuals with reduced motor capacity. Lee's most significant contributions center on the development and clinical evaluation of exoskeletal hip-assist robots, most notably the EX1, a wearable device engineered with delayed output feedback control to enhance gait assistance and walking efficiency. Their landmark 2023 study, now garnering 51 citations, demonstrated meaningful improvements in physical function and walking efficiency among older adults following EX1-assisted exercise programs, establishing a compelling evidence base for robotic rehabilitation in aging populations. A complementary 2022 study reinforced these findings, accumulating 17 citations and further validating the EX1's therapeutic potential across elderly and disabled cohorts. More recently, Lee has expanded their scope to examine broader applications of wearable exoskeletons in home healthcare settings and to explore programmed walking interventions using consumer-oriented robotic platforms like Bot Fit in younger adults. Collectively, Lee's work bridges cutting-edge robotics engineering with clinical rehabilitation science, positioning them as an emerging voice in the rapidly evolving field of human-robot interaction and assistive technology for healthy aging.
