About
Sangseok Yun is a robotics researcher whose work spans human-robot interaction, assistive robotics, and autonomous systems, with a defining focus on developing robotic interventions for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). His most celebrated contributions center on the design and clinical evaluation of robot-assisted behavioral intervention systems that help children with ASD acquire foundational social skills, particularly eye contact and facial emotion recognition. His landmark 2017 paper, "Social Skills Training for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder Using a Robotic Behavioral Intervention System," has garnered over 150 citations, underscoring the significant impact this work has had on both the robotics and clinical communities. Grounded in discrete trial teaching (DTT) protocols, Yun's intervention frameworks offer structured, repeatable, and engaging alternatives to traditional therapy methods. Beyond ASD robotics, his research portfolio extends to multi-modal human-robot interaction, audio-visual perception systems, emergency situation detection, and autonomous mobile navigation. His earlier work on haptic-operated climbing robots for hazardous environments further demonstrates his breadth across robotics applications. Collectively, his contributions reflect a career dedicated to building robots that meaningfully support human well-being in real-world settings.
