About
Jiping He is a pioneering biomedical engineer whose research bridges robotics, neural engineering, and rehabilitation science, with a particular focus on restoring motor function in stroke survivors and individuals with neurological impairments. He is best known as the principal architect of RUPERT (Robotic Upper Extremity Repetitive Therapy), a wearable exoskeletal robot driven by compliant pneumatic artificial muscles that enables affordable, portable stroke rehabilitation both in clinical settings and at home. His landmark 2007 paper on RUPERT's design and biofeedback integration has accumulated over 300 citations, establishing it as a foundational reference in rehabilitation robotics. He has consistently advanced the field by integrating functional electrical stimulation (FES) with exoskeleton systems to facilitate reach-to-grasp training, and by developing iterative learning control strategies that adapt therapy to individual patients. More recently, He has expanded into brain-computer interface research, contributing important work on neural decoding for intracortical interfaces that help paralyzed patients control external devices. His explorations of sEMG-based gesture recognition further demonstrate his broad command of human-machine interaction. With over 700 cumulative citations across his most influential works, Jiping He's career represents a sustained and impactful commitment to translating engineering innovation into meaningful clinical therapies.
