About

Yonsei University has established itself as a powerhouse of interdisciplinary research at the intersection of robotics, flexible electronics, surgical innovation, and intelligent sensing systems. With one of the most diverse and highly cited robotics-related portfolios in Asia, Yonsei's researchers have made transformative contributions that span both fundamental engineering science and real-world clinical application. At the core of Yonsei's identity is pioneering work in flexible and wearable sensing technologies. The university's researchers have authored landmark studies on flexible tactile sensors, bioinspired pressure sensors, graphene-based touch interfaces, and artificial neural tactile systems—work that has collectively amassed thousands of citations and pushed the boundaries of electronic skin and human-robot interaction. Their 2021 review on flexible tactile sensors alone has garnered over 600 citations, reflecting the global influence of Yonsei's materials and device engineering programs. Equally impressive is Yonsei's clinical robotics legacy. Faculty and affiliated surgeons have led large-scale prospective and comparative studies on robotic surgery across colorectal, thyroid, urological, gastric, and spinal domains, producing some of the most-cited surgical robotics literature worldwide. These contributions have directly shaped clinical practice and regulatory validation of minimally invasive robotic platforms such as the da Vinci system. Yonsei further distinguishes itself through contributions in adaptive control for mobile robots and large-area epidermal electronic interfaces, reinforcing its strengths across both computational intelligence and bioelectronics. Prospective students and collaborators will find a uniquely integrated research ecosystem where cutting-edge materials science, surgical robotics, and AI converge to address some of humanity's most pressing healthcare and technological challenges.
