About
Hyeongseok Jeon is a robotics researcher whose work bridges the gap between rigid precision and compliant adaptability in robotic systems. His primary research areas include torque sensing for safe human-robot interaction, surgical robotics, and soft robotic assistive devices. Jeon’s most notable contribution is a high-stiffness capacitive torque sensor that uses flexure structures to enhance sensitivity without sacrificing rigidity—a critical advance for cooperative industrial robots that must detect external forces while maintaining precise control. This work has garnered 15 citations and addresses a fundamental challenge in physical human-robot collaboration. In the medical domain, Jeon developed a novel C-arm-based navigation system for spine surgery, achieving high pedicle screw accuracy in porcine models. This system, with 10 citations, demonstrates a practical pathway toward safer, more precise spinal interventions. Jeon also contributed to soft robotics with a high-force gripping glove that employs force-distributing compliant structures, enabling powerful yet adaptive assistance for users with hand impairments. His work consistently demonstrates an ability to design mechanisms that balance compliance and strength—a theme that runs through his research on sensors, surgical tools, and wearable robots.
