Jaeheon Chung

About

Jaeheon Chung is a pioneering researcher in surgical robotics and multi-robot cooperative systems, with a focus on enhancing precision in minimally invasive procedures. His most impactful work centers on image-guided surgical robots for spinal fusion, where he developed an assistive system using O-Arm fluoroscopy for pedicle screw insertion—a study that has garnered 48 citations and demonstrated significant promise through preliminary and cadaveric trials. Chung’s contributions extend to needle steering, where he designed a 4-degree-of-freedom master-slave robotic system for 3D needle guidance, achieving 8 citations for its innovative parallel mechanism design. He also advanced multi-robot teamwork for hazardous environments, introducing a small, collaborative robotic system for disaster response (14 citations). His notable achievements include cadaver studies validating spinal surgery robots and the development of a foldable 3-DOF master device for handling large glass plates, showcasing his versatility in both surgical and industrial applications. With a career marked by translational research that bridges robotic design and clinical practice, Chung’s work has laid critical groundwork for safer, more effective robotic-assisted surgeries and multi-agent systems.
