About

Hyeongkeun Jeong is an emerging researcher at the forefront of wearable robotics and human-robot interaction, with a particular focus on personalized assistive technologies for rehabilitation and occupational support. His work centers on developing intelligent exoskeletons and robotic prostheses that adapt to individual users' biomechanical and physiological needs — a paradigm known as human-in-the-loop optimization. Jeong's most impactful contributions include pioneering the use of foot contact forces and visual guidance to personalize robotic ankle-foot devices during walking, work that has collectively garnered over 50 citations since 2022. His research has demonstrated that customized robotic assistance can meaningfully reduce physical effort for individuals with below-knee amputation and those performing demanding occupational tasks such as squatting. Notably, he has advanced both the software side — developing open-source, device-agnostic personalization frameworks — and the hardware side, introducing modular, 3D-printed ankle robot designs that make wearable technology more accessible and clinically practical. With publications spanning biomechanics, rehabilitation engineering, and additive manufacturing, Jeong's research offers a compelling vision of truly individualized robotic assistance, making him a valuable voice for students and researchers interested in the future of assistive and wearable technologies.
