About

Jongha Won is a researcher specializing in teleoperation and haptic interfaces, with a focus on advancing human-robot interaction in high-stakes environments. His key research areas include bilateral teleoperation, vibrotactile feedback systems, and motion retargeting for robotic control. Won’s work addresses critical challenges in remote manipulation tasks such as telesurgery, space operations, and hazardous material handling, where precise end-effector control is paramount. His most-cited paper, "Online retargeting for multi-lateral teleoperation" (2013, 4 citations), introduces a mapping function between master device inputs and slave robot outputs, enabling intuitive and accurate control across diverse robotic platforms. In a notable 2014 study (3 citations), Won proposed a novel master interface using vibrotactile displays to replace traditional force-feedback mechanisms, offering a compact, cost-effective alternative by eliminating bulky electrical motors. This innovation enhances the portability and affordability of teleoperation systems while maintaining sensory feedback. Although his citation counts are modest, Won’s contributions are foundational in reducing hardware complexity and improving accessibility in teleoperation, making him a promising voice in the field of haptics and remote robotics.
