About
Jejoong Kim is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction and social telecommunication, with a focus on developing immersive, embodied experiences through robotics. His most-cited work, "Social Telecommunication Experience with Full-Body Ownership Humanoid Robot" (2022, 8 citations), introduces a groundbreaking framework where users remotely control a humanoid robot to achieve a sense of full-body ownership, enabling natural, non-verbal social exchanges. This contribution challenges traditional telepresence by prioritizing physical embodiment and shared spatial awareness, offering new pathways for remote collaboration, therapy, and education. Kim’s research demonstrates how robotic avatars can transcend simple video calls, fostering genuine social connection through synchronized movement and tactile feedback. His work has been recognized for its potential to redefine human-machine relationships, earning attention from both robotics and cognitive science communities. By merging engineering innovation with psychological insights into body ownership, Kim is shaping the future of how humans interact across distances, making him a rising voice in the field of social robotics.
