About

Wei-Ming Lien is a leading researcher in rehabilitation robotics, with a primary focus on developing intelligent assistive systems for upper limb recovery. His major contributions center on creating robotic platforms that integrate advanced sensing and control to deliver personalized therapy for patients with neurologic and orthopedic disorders. Lien’s most cited work, an assistive control system for an upper limb rehabilitation robot (110 citations), introduces a dynamic human model with force/torque sensors to simulate natural interaction across active, assistive, and passive therapy modes. He is also the architect of the NTUH-II robot arm, an 8-degree-of-freedom exoskeleton designed specifically for frozen shoulder rehabilitation, featuring a dynamic torque gain adjustment method (18 citations). Expanding this platform, Lien developed a novel bilateral arm training system that combines an IMU-based interface with the NTUH-II exoskeleton, enabling coordinated therapy for stroke and injury patients (6 citations). His work bridges engineering and clinical practice, offering tangible solutions for motor function recovery. Through these innovations, Lien has established himself as a key figure in making rehabilitation more adaptive, effective, and accessible.
