Prof. Dr. Hosu Lee | Intelligent Robotics | Best Researcher Award

Assistant Professor at Gyeongsang National University | South Korea

Dr. Hosu Lee is a robotics researcher specializing in dynamics, vibration, and intelligent rehabilitation systems, with a strong background in mechatronics, medical robotics, and human–robot interaction. His research focuses on the design, development, and evaluation of advanced robotic platforms that support physical rehabilitation, integrating haptic interfaces, AI-driven control algorithms, and biomechanical modeling. He has contributed to the creation of multiple rehabilitation robots, including omnidirectional treadmill systems, upper-body and trunk rehabilitation platforms, and lower-limb gait devices based on innovative mechanical architectures. His work bridges engineering and clinical neuroscience through extensive experimentation with both healthy users and rehabilitation patients in collaboration with leading medical and engineering institutes. Dr. Lee’s research portfolio includes the development of intelligent robotic systems capable of delivering personalized therapy through adaptive control, sensor fusion, and real-time kinematic and kinetic feedback. His ongoing work integrates artificial intelligence to enhance motion prediction, user intention estimation, and therapy outcome optimization within rehabilitation robotics. He has participated in several national and international research collaborations with multidisciplinary teams spanning rehabilitation engineering, clinical medicine, and robotic system design. His contributions have resulted in peer-reviewed journal and conference publications as well as registered patents in the field of medical robotics. Through his experience in designing novel robotic mechanisms, leading experimental validation studies, and contributing to collaborative innovation environments, Dr. Lee continues to advance next-generation rehabilitation robotics aimed at improving patient recovery and functional mobility.
