About
Wonsik Lee is a pioneering researcher in the field of robotic rehabilitation and therapeutic simulation, with a primary focus on developing advanced robotic systems for equine-assisted therapy and riding instruction. His most notable contribution is the design and evaluation of a novel robotic horseback-riding simulator, detailed in his 2018 paper, which has garnered 11 citations. This work addresses critical gaps in the field by creating a device that more accurately replicates the motion, responsiveness, and sensory experience of a real horse, thereby enhancing its effectiveness for both riding lessons and therapeutic applications. Lee’s research bridges mechanical engineering, human-robot interaction, and clinical therapy, offering a safer, more accessible alternative to live horses for patients with physical or cognitive disabilities. His simulator stands out for its potential to standardize equine-assisted therapy protocols, making them reproducible and scalable. Though early in his career, Lee’s work has already influenced the design of rehabilitation robots, and his ongoing efforts promise to expand the role of robotic systems in therapeutic settings, improving quality of life for diverse populations.
