About
Kinsey Herrin is a leading researcher in wearable robotics, specializing in soft and rigid exoskeletons for rehabilitation and assistance. Her major contributions span upper- and lower-extremity devices, including the voice-controlled FLEXotendon Glove-III for hand assistance in spinal cord injury (SCI) and a torque-controllable hip exoskeleton for dynamic locomotion. Herrin’s work on the FLEXotendon Glove-III, with 64 citations, introduces novel fabrication methods and admittance grasping control, directly addressing paralysis from cervical SCI. She has also advanced lower-limb prosthetics, developing algorithms for continuous walking speed determination and designing a versatile quasidirect drive hip exoskeleton. Notably, her feasibility study on reducing knee hyperextension in children with genu recurvatum highlights her commitment to pediatric applications. With over 190 citations across her top papers, Herrin’s research integrates machine learning, series elastic actuators, and biofeedback to personalize assistance for stroke and SCI patients. Her recent work on online adaptation frameworks promises to revolutionize exoskeleton personalization, making her a pivotal figure in translating robotic technologies into clinical and daily-life solutions.
