About
Minki Sin is a leading researcher in rehabilitation and assistive robotics, with a focus on developing innovative technologies to restore motor function in individuals with neurological impairments. His most impactful contribution is the **Exo-Glove**, a soft wearable robot for the hand that employs a tendon-routing system and underactuation mechanism—a breakthrough that has garnered **466 citations** and established a new paradigm for lightweight, compact alternatives to rigid exoskeletons. Sin’s work extends to **post-stroke rehabilitation**, where he has pioneered robotic systems for assessing and treating spasticity and elbow dysfunction. His studies on isokinetic and isotonic robotic exercise have advanced objective measurement of spasticity, while his proof-of-concept work on **internet-based telerobotics** for remote elbow assessment (18 citations) addresses critical barriers to clinical access. Additionally, Sin has explored **origami-inspired deformable wheel robots** (74 citations) and developed a **6-DOF motion-tracking system** for robotic implant surgery (17 citations), demonstrating versatility across medical robotics. His research consistently bridges engineering innovation and clinical application, with a strong emphasis on reliability, accessibility, and patient-centered design.
