About
Kap-Ho Seo is a leading researcher in assistive and rehabilitation robotics, dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for individuals with movement disabilities, stroke survivors, and the bedridden. His work centers on developing intelligent robotic systems that prioritize human safety and autonomy, with key contributions spanning robotic smart homes, gait rehabilitation, and ankle therapy. Seo’s most cited paper, “Robotic smart house to assist people with movement disabilities” (2006, 99 citations), pioneered home-based assistive environments. He further advanced human-robot interaction safety through “Position and Compliance Control of a Pneumatic Muscle Actuated Manipulator for Enhanced Safety” (2010, 73 citations), addressing fundamental limits of actuator compliance. His mobile gait rehabilitation systems (2009, 59 citations) and bed-type robotic systems for the bedridden (2010, 30 citations) have provided innovative solutions for mobility-impaired patients. Notably, his randomized controlled study on technology-assisted ankle rehabilitation (2018, 27 citations) demonstrated significant improvements in balance and gait performance among stroke survivors, with lasting effects at one-month follow-up. With over 350 total citations across his publications, Seo’s work has profoundly impacted assistive robotics, offering practical, cost-effective therapies that improve patient outcomes and independence.
