About

Han Jun Yeom is a pioneering robotics researcher whose work centers on novel mechanical transmission systems for mobile robots. His most recognized contribution is the development of the "MOSTS" mobile robot, which introduced a spherical continuously variable transmission (S-CVT) — a compact, friction-based mechanism using a sphere, input/output discs, and variators to enable smooth, stepless speed changes. This design, detailed in his 2003 paper (11 citations), represents an innovative approach to improving maneuverability and power efficiency in wheeled robots. While his citation count reflects a focused, specialized impact, Yeom's work on the S-CVT stands as a foundational contribution to the field of robot drivetrain design, offering a unique solution to the challenge of variable transmission in compact robotic platforms. His research continues to inspire engineers exploring friction-based transmission systems for agile, small-scale mobile robots.
