About
Hobyeong Chae is a leading researcher in the field of robotic systems for high-rise building maintenance, specializing in façade and window-cleaning automation. His work directly addresses the critical safety risks and inefficiencies of manual cleaning on vertical structures. Chae’s major contributions include the design of a tethered façade cleaning robot utilizing a dual rope windlass climbing mechanism, which provides robust, stable ascent and descent. He has also developed a window-cleaning manipulator with compliant adaptation capability, allowing the robot to conform to glass surfaces and compensate for lateral disturbances, as demonstrated in his gondola-embedded systems. His research integrates sensing and manipulation, including an image processing approach for transparent window contaminant detection. With over 90 citations across his most-cited papers, Chae’s impact is evident in the practical, deployable nature of his designs, which aim to replace human workers in dangerous tasks. Notably, his 2022 paper on the tethered robot has garnered 32 citations, reflecting its significance in advancing safe, automated building maintenance. Chae’s work is essential reading for students and researchers in robotics, mechatronics, and construction automation.
