Interaction Lab

We design human-centered wearable robotic systems that closely interact with the human body — integrating exoskeletons, wearable sensing, and intelligent control to restore and enhance human mobility.

Latest (2026.02) 🎉 Our paper on real-time spatiotemporal gait analysis has been accepted to IEEE Access! Congratulations!

Research Overview

Wearable Robots for Assistance & Rehabilitation

Hip-assistive and lower-limb exoskeletons with joint-torque-based assistance strategies, validated through laboratory and clinical studies for safe, intuitive daily use.
