About

Dr. U-Ri Chae is a leading researcher at the intersection of industrial automation and human-robot interaction, with a focus on enhancing workplace productivity and safety. Her work is defined by two major contributions: advancing robotic process automation (RPA) for business efficiency and improving the ergonomic design of wearable exoskeletons. Her 2021 paper on RPA, which has garnered 30 citations, demonstrates how digitalization and robotic automation can drive innovation in manufacturing, leading to faster operations and higher productivity. Complementing this, her highly cited study (25 citations) on wearable chairless exoskeletons addresses a critical challenge in industrial ergonomics—preventing musculoskeletal disorders from prolonged strain. By systematically evaluating harness designs, Chae’s research directly informs safer, more comfortable wearable robots for workers in demanding environments. Her work bridges the gap between automation and human-centered design, offering practical solutions for industries seeking to balance efficiency with worker well-being. Dr. Chae’s contributions are essential reading for researchers and practitioners in industrial engineering, human factors, and robotics, as she continues to shape the future of safe, productive workplaces.
