About

Jaeyong Shin is a leading researcher in the field of humanoid robotics and telepresence, with a primary focus on developing intuitive, immersive avatar systems that bridge the gap between human operators and remote robotic platforms. His work centers on advancing tele-existence technologies, bipedal locomotion, and human-robot interaction interfaces. Shin’s most notable contribution is his leadership of Team SNU in the prestigious ANA Avatar XPRIZE Finals, where his team’s "Intuitive and Interactive Robotic Avatar System" (2024, 8 citations) demonstrated cutting-edge teleoperation capabilities that allow operators to feel a rich sense of presence in distant locations. He has also authored a comprehensive review on humanoid walking technologies (2024, 6 citations), synthesizing key advances in robust bipedal locomotion. Shin’s innovative design of a foot-operated telelocomotion interface using Mecanum wheel-based platforms (2023, 3 citations) and a VR-based spatial visual interface (2023, 2 citations) for avatar robots showcases his commitment to making robot control more natural and accessible. His work is instrumental in pushing avatar robotics toward real-world applications in hazardous environments, remote exploration, and assistive technology.
