About
Daewon Ko is a rising researcher at the forefront of soft robotics and intelligent sensing systems, with a primary focus on developing advanced electronic skin technologies for human-robot interaction. His most notable contribution, "Multifunctional electronic skin integrating dual-mode optical and pressure sensors for caregiving robots" (2025), addresses a critical societal need: equipping humanoid caregiving robots with the sophisticated tactile and optical sensing required to perform delicate tasks for aging populations. This work pioneers a dual-mode sensor that simultaneously detects pressure and optical signals, enabling robots to perceive their environment with unprecedented nuance—a key step toward safe, intuitive assistance in homes and hospitals. Though early in his career, Ko’s research has already garnered attention for its direct impact on assistive robotics, with his paper accumulating citations that underscore its relevance to the growing field of soft electronics. By merging materials science, sensor engineering, and AI-driven robotics, Ko is laying the groundwork for next-generation caregiving systems that can sense, adapt, and respond with human-like precision.
