About
Anthony Goo is a leading researcher in the design and control of lower-limb exoskeletons, with a primary focus on hybrid zero dynamics (HZD) and phase-based gait guidance. His work bridges the gap between theoretical robotics and practical rehabilitation, pioneering the first application of HZD to underactuated exoskeletons for stable, dynamic gait assistance. Goo’s contributions are particularly notable in pediatric exoskeleton development, where he has designed adjustable hip-knee devices for children aged 6–11, addressing a critical gap in assistive technology. His most-cited paper (38 citations) introduces a hybrid impedance-sliding mode switching controller for the Indego Explorer exoskeleton, demonstrating robust able-bodied walking. Additional influential works (10–11 citations each) explore optimal phase-based control and HZD for both adult and pediatric populations, emphasizing user volitional control and gait stability. With a growing citation record and a focus on underactuated systems, Goo’s research is advancing the frontier of wearable robotics, making exoskeletons safer, more adaptive, and accessible for diverse clinical populations.
