About

Jongbeom Her is a robotics researcher whose work spans aerial robotics, autonomous inspection systems, and human-robot interaction. He is perhaps best known for his pioneering contributions to omnidirectional aerial manipulation, most notably through the development of ODAR (Omni-Directional Aerial Robot), a fully-actuated multi-rotor platform capable of generating arbitrary control wrenches in all six degrees of freedom. His 2016 foundational paper on ODAR's design, modeling, and control has garnered 114 citations, while a follow-up 2018 study refining the platform's omnidirectional wrench generation capabilities has accumulated an impressive 176 citations, underscoring the significance of this work within the aerial robotics community. Beyond aerial platforms, Her has advanced the field of autonomous infrastructure inspection, proposing a UAV-based framework for bridge inspection that demonstrates real-world applicability of his research. His earlier work on whole-body semi-autonomous teleoperation for mobile manipulator systems further reflects his broad interest in intuitive and capable human-robot interfaces. Collectively, his research addresses critical challenges in making robots more versatile, autonomous, and practically deployable, earning him meaningful recognition across multiple subfields of robotics.
