About
Hyeonjun Park is a robotics researcher whose work spans anthropomorphic robot hands, musical robotics, and human-robot interaction. His most significant contribution is the development of the **HRI Hand**, an open-source anthropomorphic robot hand system that can be built for approximately $500 using 3D printing, making advanced robotic manipulation research accessible to labs worldwide (31 citations). Park has also pioneered **stretchable electronic systems** using laser ablation techniques for wearable robotics, enabling controllable robotic arm operations through on-skin sensors (26 citations). His research on **variable grasping stiffness** using Series Elastic Actuators has advanced safe, adaptive robotic grasping for unknown objects (16 citations). Notably, Park has made unique contributions to **violin-playing robots**, studying sound quality through bowing velocity, force, and fingering techniques—a rare intersection of robotics and musical artistry. His work extends to reinforcement learning for warehouse automation and EMG-based joint torque estimation for exoskeletons. With over 100 total citations across his portfolio, Park’s open-source philosophy and interdisciplinary approach—combining mechanical design, sensor systems, and artistic applications—position him as an innovator in accessible, human-centered robotics.
