About

Jiyoung Jung is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics, computer vision, and rehabilitation engineering. Her work focuses on developing assistive technologies that bridge human motor function with advanced sensing and display systems. Jung's most impactful contribution is a novel 2.5D pattern for extrinsic calibration of Time-of-Flight (ToF) and camera fusion systems (2011, 22 citations), which addressed a critical gap in depth-sensing accuracy by moving beyond intrinsic calibration to enable precise spatial alignment—a foundational technique for 3D perception in robotics and augmented reality. She also led the development of the NRC Robotic Exoskeleton (NREX, 2013), a prototype designed to aid individuals with neurological impairments from stroke and spinal cord injuries, demonstrating her commitment to translating technology into clinical rehabilitation. Additionally, her work on usability testing of 2D versus 3D displays in an immersive upper extremity exercise testbed (2013) integrated a seven-degree-of-freedom robotic arm with projective displays, advancing interactive therapy for activities of daily living. Though her citation counts reflect a focused, early-career impact, Jung's contributions to calibration methodologies and rehabilitation robotics have laid groundwork for more intuitive human-robot interaction and assistive systems.
