About

Hyungjin Jeong is a robotics researcher specializing in mobile robot locomotion, terrain adaptation, and autonomous navigation. His work focuses on enhancing the performance and safety of robots operating in challenging, unstructured environments. A key contribution is his research on passively articulated mobile robots, where he developed a method to minimize the maximum required friction coefficient during rough terrain driving, enabling more stable and efficient traversal of uneven surfaces. This work, published in 2021, has garnered 11 citations, reflecting its relevance to field robotics. Jeong also advanced human-robot interaction with his 2020 study on single 2D LiDAR-based follow-me systems for hilly terrains, demonstrating how low-cost sensors can enable reliable autonomous tracking on slopes. By addressing critical challenges in traction and perception, Jeong’s research supports the deployment of mobile robots in agriculture, search-and-rescue, and planetary exploration. His achievements highlight a practical, problem-driven approach to robotics, making his work valuable for students and engineers developing robots for real-world, off-road applications.
