About
Yingwei Chen is a rising researcher at the intersection of rehabilitation robotics and human-robot interaction, with a focus on assistive technologies for mobility-impaired populations. Their primary contributions lie in the design and control of minimally actuated lower limb exoskeletons, where they pioneered a mechanical joint coupling approach that reduces actuator complexity while maintaining functional gait support. Chen’s work on abnormal gait partitioning in children with cerebral palsy—achieving real-time phase recognition—has direct clinical implications for personalized therapy, garnering 10 citations in a short span. They also developed a crutch-exoskeleton hybrid system that demonstrably reduces upper extremity loads, addressing a critical barrier to long-term exoskeleton adoption. Beyond biomechanics, Chen explores technology acceptance in construction, revealing how initial trust and risk perception shape collaborative robot adoption among workers. With a growing citation footprint (over 30 total), Chen’s research bridges engineering innovation and human factors, offering practical solutions for rehabilitation and occupational safety. Their ability to integrate mechanical design, machine learning, and user-centered evaluation marks them as a versatile contributor to the future of wearable robotics.
