About
Hyunjo Chung is a leading researcher in the field of tactile robotics, specializing in the development of body-scale robotic skins and multimodal tactile sensing systems. His work addresses a critical gap in human-robot interaction: the absence of tactile sensitivity across robotic bodies, which prevents natural physical engagement. Chung’s major contribution is the design and evaluation of a distributed multimodal sensing module that enables a full-body robotic skin to perceive touch, pressure, and texture. His 2024 paper on this topic, with 6 citations, demonstrates a scalable solution that overcomes previous limitations in sensor integration and robustness. Additionally, his 2023 study on touch classification (5 citations) advances the ability of robots to interpret social touch—distinguishing between a comforting stroke and an aggressive hit—paving the way for more intuitive, emotionally aware interactions. Chung’s work is foundational for applications in assistive robotics, collaborative manufacturing, and human-robot coexistence. By enabling machines to “feel” and respond to touch, he is helping to bridge the sensory gap between humans and robots, making physical interaction safer and more meaningful. His research continues to influence the design of next-generation robotic skins.
