About
Joonho Seo is a multidisciplinary robotics researcher whose work spans medical robotics, autonomous navigation, and human-robot interaction. He is perhaps best known for his pioneering contributions to ultrasound-guided High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) systems, where he developed innovative visual servoing techniques to address one of the field's most persistent challenges: tracking moving abdominal targets caused by respiratory motion. His landmark papers on this topic — including a phantom study on coagulated lesion tracking (22 citations) and a 2016 study on moving target ablation (24 citations) — have meaningfully advanced the clinical viability of non-invasive tumor treatment. Beyond medical robotics, Seo has made notable contributions to autonomous robot navigation, including a well-cited 2020 study (21 citations) applying deep reinforcement learning to adapt navigation behaviors to human preference, demonstrating a rare breadth across medical and service robotics domains. His research portfolio also encompasses prosthetic hand control using deep learning-based object detection, Mecanum-wheeled robot control, camera calibration, and personal care robot safety analysis. Collectively spanning over 100 citations, Seo's work reflects a consistent commitment to translating advanced robotics research into practical, human-centered applications across healthcare and intelligent systems.
