About

Junbo Chae is a robotics researcher specializing in autonomous underwater intervention systems, with a focus on enabling underwater robots to perform complex manipulation tasks without direct human control. His work centers on developing the core algorithms and robotic platforms necessary for autonomous grasping and intervention in challenging subsea environments. Chae's most notable contribution is his involvement in a major project initiated by KRISO (Korea Research Institute of Ship & Ocean Engineering) in 2017, aimed at advancing autonomous underwater robotics. His 2019 paper, "Development of Robot Platform for Autonomous Underwater Intervention," which has garnered 8 citations, details the design and construction of a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) platform specifically engineered to test and validate these autonomous algorithms. This foundational work has paved the way for subsequent studies, including his 2020 paper on underwater robot control systems for autonomous grasping, which has received 3 citations. Through his research, Chae is helping to push the boundaries of underwater robotics, moving from teleoperation toward true autonomy in tasks such as object retrieval and subsea infrastructure maintenance.
