About

Dr. Jong-Yun Yeo is a robotics researcher whose work centers on the integration of mobile robotics with consumer electronics, particularly through the lens of autonomous control and human-robot interaction. His most cited paper, "An Autonomous Control of Mobile Robot using Android Smartphone and X-BOT" (2011, 6 citations), introduces a pioneering framework that leverages the processing power and connectivity of Android smartphones to control autonomous mobile robots. By transmitting sensor data from the robot to the phone via Bluetooth and processing it there, Yeo’s system effectively turns a smartphone into the robot’s brain, enabling real-time decision-making without the need for onboard computing. This work demonstrates a cost-effective, accessible approach to robotics, making autonomous control more feasible for hobbyists and researchers alike. While his citation count is modest, the conceptual contribution—bridging mobile technology and robotics—has influenced subsequent work in smartphone-based robot control. Yeo’s research highlights the potential of repurposing everyday devices for advanced robotic applications, a theme that remains relevant in the era of IoT and edge computing.
