About
Jaehong Woo is a leading researcher in medical robotics, specializing in vascular intervention, colonoscopy, and surgical robotic systems. His primary contributions lie in developing master–slave robotic platforms that reduce radiation exposure for clinicians during procedures like catheterization and chemoembolization. Notably, his 2019 work on a 5-DOF vascular intervention robot with steerable catheter and haptic feedback (48 citations) introduced a novel approach to remote, radiation-safe surgery. He further advanced autonomous capabilities with a learning-based catheter and guidewire system (2022, 25 citations) that minimizes repulsive forces, improving procedural safety. Woo also pioneered a robotic colonoscopic manipulation system using haptic feedback (2016, 20 citations), enabling remote control of conventional colonoscopes. His recent clinical pilot study on robot-assisted transarterial chemoembolization (2023, 5 citations) demonstrates real-world impact. Beyond medical robotics, Woo has contributed to manufacturing optimization through digital twin modeling for robotic light machining. His work on workspace analysis for DELTA robots (2013) and trans-oral surgical robot design (2014) rounds out his diverse expertise. With over 130 total citations, Woo’s research continues to push boundaries in robotic-assisted interventions, offering safer, more precise tools for both diagnosis and treatment.
