About
Goobong Chung is a leading researcher in robotic systems for industrial and healthcare applications, with key contributions in exoskeleton control, human-robot interaction, and autonomous inspection robotics. His most impactful work includes the development of a passivity-based nonlinear admittance controller for powered upper-limb exoskeletons (47 citations), which ensures stable and safe interaction with human operators and unknown environments—a critical advance for assistive robotics. He has also pioneered practical exoskeleton suits for heavy-load industries, such as steel manufacturing and refractory construction (34 and 43 citations), addressing real-world ergonomic and safety challenges. Beyond wearable robotics, Chung has advanced infrastructure maintenance with an in-pipe inspection robot for large-diameter water pipes (25 citations), integrating magnetic flux leakage sensing. His broader portfolio includes robust control for underwater robotic systems and lightweight exoskeleton design using carbon fiber composites. With a career spanning over two decades, Chung’s work is distinguished by its translation of theoretical control methods—like passivity and disturbance observers—into deployable robotic solutions, earning him recognition as a key figure in industrial robotics and human-augmentation technologies.
