About
Kyungmo Jung is a leading figure in the fields of construction robotics and assistive exoskeletons, whose work bridges the gap between hazardous manual labor and safe, automated solutions. His most influential contribution is the comprehensive survey "A survey of climbing robots: Locomotion and adhesion," which has garnered over 230 citations and serves as a foundational reference for researchers in robotic mobility and adhesion. Jung has also made significant strides in human augmentation, notably through the biomechanical design of an agile, electricity-powered lower-limb exoskeleton for weight-bearing assistance, cited over 110 times. This work, along with his development of an ankle-less active lower-limb exoskeleton controlled by a finite leg function state machine, demonstrates a commitment to creating practical, safe wearable robotics. In construction automation, Jung has pioneered robotic systems for steel beam assembly, including a teleoperation system and a specialized robotic bolting device, directly addressing the dangers of high-rise building construction. His innovative design of a soft three-axis force sensor for human-robot interaction further underscores his dedication to safety and compliance. Through these achievements, Jung has profoundly impacted both the safety of construction workers and the capabilities of assistive robotics.
