About

Hun-Ok Lim is a leading researcher in the field of biped humanoid robotics, with a primary focus on walking stabilization, motion generation, and human-robot interaction. His most-cited work, "Stiffness analysis of biped humanoid robot WABIAN-RIV" (2005, 28 citations), provides foundational insights into the mechanical compliance of humanoid robots, enabling safer and more adaptive locomotion. Lim’s 2002 paper on "Stabilization control for biped follow walking" (16 citations) introduced a novel follow-walking motion that synthesizes trunk, waist, and lower limb patterns to allow robots to track human movement in real time—a key step toward assistive robotics. His 2013 study on "Walking stabilization based on gait analysis" (14 citations) advanced the use of humanoid robots as motion simulators for evaluating welfare and rehabilitation devices. More recently, his 2015 work on "Online Walking Pattern Generation Using FFT" (7 citations) demonstrated efficient, real-time gait planning. Collectively, Lim’s research has significantly improved the stability and practicality of humanoid walking, with applications in healthcare and human-centered robotics.
