About
Yueyan Zhuo is a leading researcher in the field of rehabilitation robotics, with a focus on developing intelligent, wearable systems for restoring hand function. Her work bridges the critical gap between human intention and robotic assistance, pioneering both brain-controlled and movement-triggered exoskeletons. Her most cited paper (96 citations) introduces an attention-controlled hand exoskeleton that uses a rigid-soft combined mechanism for bi-directional finger rehabilitation, addressing key challenges in simplicity, safety, and intuitive control. Zhuo has also advanced soft robotic gloves that enable stroke patients to train their impaired hand using movements from their healthy hand, a low-cost, 3D-printed pneumatic design that promotes neuroplasticity through mirror therapy. Additionally, her work on a soft robot hand with fingertip haptic feedback for teleoperation (17 citations) demonstrates her commitment to safe, dexterous human-machine interaction. By integrating EEG-based control, pneumatic actuation, and haptic feedback, Zhuo’s research is making rehabilitation more accessible, portable, and effective—offering new hope for patients recovering from stroke or spinal cord injury.
