About
Wonhee Ji is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of wearable haptics, soft robotics, and human-machine interaction. Her work centers on developing intelligent, mechanically adaptive interfaces that bridge the gap between human dexterity and robotic systems. Ji’s major contribution lies in the concept of “embodied auxetic intelligence,” where she engineers glove-type wearable devices that leverage auxetic structures—materials that expand when stretched—to create intuitive, bidirectional haptic feedback. Her most cited work, *Embodied Auxetic Intelligence in a Glove‐Type Wearable Haptic Interface Connecting Humans to Robots and the Metaverse* (2025, 8 citations), introduces a paradigm shift by enabling dynamic finger motion sensing and force feedback without bulky actuators, allowing seamless teleoperation and immersive virtual interactions. This innovation addresses the long-standing challenge of replicating the full kinematic and sensory capabilities of the human hand in wearable form factors. Ji’s research has immediate implications for remote surgery, industrial robotics, and metaverse applications, where natural haptic communication is critical. Her work stands out for its elegant integration of material science and interface design, earning recognition as a foundational step toward truly embodied digital interaction.
