About
Youngdae Lee is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics, rehabilitation engineering, and equine-assisted therapy. His work centers on developing robotic systems that replicate the nuanced biomechanics of horseback riding for therapeutic and educational applications. Lee’s most notable contribution is the design and evaluation of a novel robotic horseback-riding simulator, detailed in his 2018 paper (cited 11 times), which addresses critical gaps in motion fidelity, user responsiveness, and sensory feedback compared to earlier models. This simulator has shown promise for riding lessons and equine-assisted therapy, offering a controlled, accessible alternative for individuals with motor or cognitive impairments. By bridging robotics with clinical practice, Lee has advanced assistive technologies that improve quality of life, particularly for those unable to access live horses. His work underscores a commitment to human-centered engineering, with potential impacts on physical rehabilitation and inclusive recreation. Though early in its citation trajectory, this research lays foundational groundwork for future innovations in therapeutic robotics.
