About

Dr. Ho-Jin Jeon is a pioneering roboticist whose work bridges the gap between extreme mobility and practical infrastructure inspection. His research centers on developing specialized robotic systems for challenging environments, with major contributions in humanoid locomotion and aerial climbing robotics. Dr. Jeon led the development of a humanoid robot designed for the 2018 Ski Robot Challenge, demonstrating advanced balance and terrain adaptation in dynamic, snowy conditions—a project that has garnered 12 citations for its novel approach to bipedal locomotion. Earlier, he engineered a quadrotor-based wall-climbing robot for structural health monitoring, addressing the critical need for safe, cost-effective inspection of massive civil structures. This work, cited 7 times, proposed a transformative solution to replace labor-intensive and high-risk manual inspections of bridges, towers, and dams. By integrating aerial flight with adhesion mechanisms, Dr. Jeon’s robot enables autonomous vertical surface traversal, reducing human exposure to hazardous environments. His achievements highlight a career dedicated to pushing the boundaries of robotics for real-world applications, from alpine slopes to vertical infrastructure, making him a notable figure in field robotics and structural health monitoring.
