About
Ji Nung An is a researcher in the field of robotics, with a primary focus on rehabilitation robotics, robotic manipulation, and bio-inspired locomotion. An’s work addresses critical design challenges in robotic systems, from ensuring patient safety and comfort in therapeutic devices to optimizing performance in autonomous machines. Notably, An’s 2014 study on the kinematic design of a five-bar planar robot for arm rehabilitation (4 citations) identifies key trade-offs between workspace size, singularity avoidance, and manipulability—essential factors for creating effective and user-friendly rehabilitation devices. In the area of locomotion, An’s 2011 investigation into the effects of torsional stiffness and preload on a hopping robot with two-segment legs (3 citations) provides foundational insights into passive dynamics and energy efficiency for field robots. Further contributions include the development of an algorithm for extracting an optimal gripping force range for robot grippers (2012, 2 citations), enhancing the reliability of industrial end-effectors. While An’s citation counts reflect a focused, early-stage research impact, the work demonstrates a systematic approach to solving fundamental problems in mechanism design, laying important groundwork for future advances in assistive and autonomous robotics.
