About
Young Rok Han is a leading researcher in human-robot interaction and industrial safety, with a focus on the biomechanical impacts of collaborative robotics. His most-cited work, "Assessment of pressure pain thresholds in collisions with collaborative robots" (2019, 33 citations), addresses a critical gap in safety standards for robots operating in close proximity to humans. By systematically measuring pain thresholds during robot-human collisions, Han provides foundational data that informs the design of safer collaborative systems, bridging the gap between existing industrial robot safety protocols and the emerging need for human-centric guidelines. His research directly supports the development of standards for pain-free interaction, a key challenge as robots become ubiquitous in manufacturing, healthcare, and domestic settings. Han’s contributions are vital for engineers and policymakers aiming to balance productivity with human well-being, making his work a cornerstone in the evolving field of collaborative robot safety.
