About

Seok-Hoon Lee is a researcher focused on assistive robotics and wearable technologies for rehabilitation and industrial applications. His key research areas include robotic prosthetics, exoskeletons, and human-robot interaction for motion assistance. Lee’s major contributions involve developing intelligent control algorithms for lower-limb prostheses and wearable robots for upper-limb support. In his most cited work, "Walking algorithm for a robotic transfemoral prosthesis capable of walking pattern recognition and posture stabilization" (2017, 6 citations), he introduced a novel algorithm that synchronizes prosthetic movement with amputee gait while ensuring balance on inclined surfaces—a critical step toward natural, adaptive prosthetic control. He also advanced wearable robotics for elderly workers, designing a lightweight, cost-effective elbow exoskeleton with dual operation modes (follow and power-assist) to reduce joint strain during repetitive tasks. Though early in his career, Lee’s work demonstrates a practical, user-centered approach to assistive robotics, addressing real-world challenges in mobility and ergonomics. His research holds promise for improving quality of life for amputees and aging workforces alike.
