About

Eun-Yeong Go is a pioneering researcher in soft robotics, with a primary focus on the design and actuation of soft continuum manipulators. Her major contribution lies in the development of hybrid actuation systems that integrate pneumatic and tendon-driven mechanisms, bridging the gap between traditional rigid continuum robots and fully soft robotic systems. In her seminal 2016 work, she introduced a soft continuum manipulator composed of urethane rubber-based flexible modules, demonstrating how soft materials can achieve dexterous, compliant motion while maintaining structural integrity. This foundational paper has garnered 13 citations, establishing her as an early innovator in the field. Go’s research is notable for its practical approach to soft robotics, addressing key challenges in control and fabrication that are critical for applications in medical devices, minimally invasive surgery, and industrial manipulation. Her work continues to inspire new generations of soft roboticists seeking to create safer, more adaptable machines that can operate in constrained and delicate environments.
