About
Jaewook Bae has made pioneering contributions to urban search and rescue (USAR) robotics, focusing on agile limbed robots, wireless video sensor networks, and intuitive human-robot interaction. His most cited work describes a custom TerminatorBot for core-bored inspection, enabling visual access through small holes during rescue operations—a practical innovation that has garnered 20 citations. Bae also developed a novel routing mechanism for Bluetooth-based Wireless Video Sensor Networks (WVSNs), achieving high-bandwidth, low-power video transmission for multi-robot teams in disaster zones. His design of the "gestural joystick," a wearable 2-D pointing controller using hand gestures, addressed the critical challenge of operating robots in hazardous environments where traditional input devices are impractical. This work, along with his studies on path tortuosity metrics for human-robot interaction, has influenced interface design for gloves-on operation. Bae's research on evolving gaits for terrain classification further advanced limb-based locomotion in rubble-strewn environments. With over 70 total citations across his publications, Bae's work remains foundational for resilient, operator-friendly robotic systems in life-saving applications.
