About

Bomin Jeong is a robotics and soft robotics researcher whose work sits at the innovative intersection of compliant mechanisms, tactile sensing, and wearable technologies. Jeong's research focuses on advancing robotic grippers, soft robotic systems, and smart wearable structures, with a particular emphasis on enabling machines to interact more intelligently and adaptively with their physical environments. Among Jeong's most notable contributions is the development of elongatable gripper fingers integrated with stretchable tactile sensors, a 2022 work that has garnered 53 citations and represents a significant step forward in underactuated grasping and dexterous manipulation. By enabling grippers to adapt to complex object geometries without sacrificing control simplicity, this research addresses a longstanding challenge in robotic manipulation. Complementing this, Jeong's work on hybrid system analysis for soft robotic grippers — accumulated across multiple publications with a combined 24 citations — demonstrates sophisticated methods for proprioceptive feedback and autonomous object-size detection. Jeong has also contributed meaningfully to wearable robotics through research on selectively stiffening garments using cellular composites, bridging biomechanical support and lightweight wearability. Collectively, Jeong's body of work reflects a commitment to making robots and wearable systems smarter, more adaptive, and more practically deployable in real-world settings.
