About
Jeong Woo Han is a leading researcher in assistive robotics and autonomous navigation, with a focus on developing intelligent systems that enhance mobility and safety. His key research areas include exoskeleton design for rehabilitation, mobile robot path planning, and human-robot interaction. Han’s most impactful contribution is the design of a walking assistance lower limb exoskeleton for paraplegic patients, which uniquely integrates center of pressure (CoP) measurement to improve stability and gait control—a departure from traditional bipedal robots. This work, published in 2013, has garnered 58 citations and demonstrates his commitment to translating robotics into real-world medical solutions. In autonomous navigation, Han has advanced model predictive control and global path planning, introducing hierarchical topology maps and safety-aware speed strategies to enable efficient, collision-free movement in complex environments. His recent 2022 paper on model predictive path following for holonomic robots (25 citations) and 2023 work on corridor-aware mapping (5 citations) highlight his ongoing innovation. Han’s research bridges theoretical control with practical deployment, making him a notable figure in both rehabilitation engineering and mobile robotics.
