About

Jonghun Park is a researcher specializing in robotics and control systems, with a particular focus on sensorless force estimation and manipulation. His work addresses a critical challenge in robotic interaction: enabling robots to perceive and respond to external forces without relying on expensive or fragile physical sensors. Park’s most notable contribution is his development of a sensorless force control algorithm based on the momentum observer technique, presented in his 2021 paper. This approach allows robotic manipulators to estimate contact forces indirectly, using only existing motor signals and dynamic models—eliminating the need for dedicated six-axis force/torque or joint torque sensors. While still early in its citation impact, this work represents a practical and cost-effective advancement for safe human-robot collaboration and adaptive automation. Park’s research is particularly relevant to industrial robotics, where reducing hardware complexity while maintaining precision is a key goal. His contributions continue to influence the development of more intuitive and resilient robotic systems, promising to make force-sensitive tasks—from assembly to assistive care—more accessible and reliable.
