About

Tze Hui Koh is a leading researcher in soft robotics and rehabilitation engineering, with a focus on developing wearable assistive technologies for individuals with motor impairments. Their most impactful work centers on fabric-based soft robotic systems that restore hand and arm function. Koh’s landmark 2017 paper, “A Fully Fabric-Based Bidirectional Soft Robotic Glove for Assistance and Rehabilitation of Hand Impaired Patients,” has garnered 267 citations, introducing a groundbreaking glove that provides both active finger flexion and extension—a critical advancement over unidirectional designs. This fully textile-based device enables patients to perform activities of daily living and rehabilitation exercises with unprecedented comfort and functionality. Building on this, Koh’s “Design of a Soft Robotic Elbow Sleeve with Passive and Intent-Controlled Actuation” (71 citations) demonstrates expertise in intent-driven control, offering continuous passive and user-initiated assistance for neuromuscular training. By integrating soft, lightweight materials with intelligent actuation, Koh’s work bridges the gap between clinical rehabilitation and practical, wearable solutions. Their contributions are shaping the future of patient-centered robotics, making assistive devices more accessible and effective for hand-impaired individuals worldwide.
