About
Jaeho Jang is a pioneering researcher in robotics, with key contributions spanning infrastructure inspection, wearable exoskeletons, and rehabilitation technology. His most influential work, "Auto inspection system using a mobile robot for detecting concrete cracks in a tunnel" (2006, 357 citations), revolutionized structural safety monitoring by introducing autonomous robotic systems that replaced manual inspection, significantly enhancing accuracy and efficiency in hazardous environments. Jang’s expertise extends to human-robot interaction, where he advanced lower extremity exoskeletons for load carriage and walking assistance, notably through virtual model control and innovative mechanical designs like a four-bar linkage knee joint for seamless transitions between sitting and standing. His research also addresses medical and elderly care, developing service robots for rehabilitation and multi-joint therapy, as seen in studies on hydrostatic transmission systems and ergonomic assistive devices. With a portfolio that bridges civil engineering and biomedical robotics, Jang’s work has laid foundational methods for autonomous inspection and wearable augmentation, impacting both industrial safety and quality of life for aging populations. His interdisciplinary approach continues to inspire advancements in robotic systems that operate in real-world, human-centered environments.
