About
Kyungseo Park is a leading innovator in soft robotic tactile sensing, dedicated to creating artificial skin that is as durable, scalable, and perceptive as its biological counterpart. His research centers on developing large-area, whole-body tactile sensors for safe human-robot interaction, primarily leveraging electrical impedance and resistance tomography (EIT/ERT). Park’s major contribution lies in overcoming the fundamental trade-off between sensor scalability and spatial resolution. By pioneering the integration of deep neural networks with tomographic sensing, he has dramatically improved the accuracy of touch localization across large surfaces, as demonstrated in his highly cited 2022 work (251 citations) on a biomimetic elastomer skin. His innovations extend to practical, real-world deployment, including the development of low-hysteresis, low-interference materials and repairable sensor structures that reduce cost and complexity. With over 665 total citations, Park’s work is foundational for enabling contact-rich collaboration between humans and robots. His recent focus on low-cost, easy-to-build designs promises to democratize access to soft robotic skin, accelerating its adoption in everything from industrial automation to assistive robotics.
