About
Younghoon Ji is a leading researcher in the field of robotic neurorehabilitation, specializing in the development and control of wearable exoskeletons for both upper and lower limb recovery. His work addresses critical challenges in post-stroke and neurological rehabilitation, focusing on robust control systems and clinical efficacy. Ji’s major contributions include the design of robust sliding mode controllers to handle subject arm uncertainties in upper limb robots, and the development of the HEXO-UR30A, an exoskeletal robot for chronic stroke patients. His randomized controlled trial on the HEXO-UR30A demonstrated significant therapeutic benefits, marking a key milestone in translating robotic therapy into clinical practice. With over 69 citations across his most-cited works, Ji has also pioneered gait analysis for hemiplegic patients using wearable lower-limb robots, such as the WA-H system, which reduces the need for multiple therapists during rehabilitation. His integration of advanced impedance control and H-infinity controllers further enhances patient-robot interaction, making therapy safer and more adaptive. Ji’s research bridges engineering innovation and clinical application, offering scalable solutions for neurological recovery and setting a foundation for next-generation rehabilitation robotics.
