About

Jun Woo Park is a leading researcher in the field of robotic cardiac catheterization and haptic feedback systems. His primary research areas include medical robotics, force-reflecting control, and haptic virtual fixtures for minimally invasive interventions. Park’s major contributions center on enhancing the safety and precision of catheter navigation during electrophysiological procedures. His most cited work, "Development of a Force‐Reflecting Robotic Platform for Cardiac Catheter Navigation" (2010, 62 citations), introduced a novel robotic platform that provides force feedback to operators, significantly improving catheter control and reducing the risk of tissue damage. Building on this, his 2011 paper "Haptic Virtual Fixture for Robotic Cardiac Catheter Navigation" (38 citations) pioneered the use of image-based virtual fixtures—derived from X-ray fluoroscopy—to guide catheter movement and prevent excessive manipulation forces that could lead to perforation. These contributions have had a lasting impact on the development of safer, more intuitive robotic systems for cardiac interventions. Park’s work is widely recognized for bridging haptics, robotics, and clinical imaging, offering practical solutions that enhance both training and real-time surgical performance.
