About

Myeongul Jung is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction and social telecommunications, with a focus on developing immersive, full-body ownership experiences through humanoid robotics. His most-cited work, "Social Telecommunication Experience with Full-Body Ownership Humanoid Robot" (2022), has garnered 8 citations, establishing a foundational contribution to the field. Jung’s research explores how users can achieve a sense of embodiment and agency when controlling humanoid robots remotely, enabling richer, more natural social interactions than traditional video or audio calls. By integrating principles from virtual reality, haptics, and cognitive science, he has advanced the design of telepresence systems that allow individuals to physically express themselves through a robotic avatar, fostering deeper emotional connections. His work has significant implications for remote collaboration, healthcare, and assistive technologies, particularly for individuals with mobility limitations. Jung’s achievements include presenting at top robotics conferences and contributing to the growing body of knowledge on teleoperation and social robotics. His research continues to inspire new directions in creating seamless, human-like telepresence experiences, making him a notable figure in the evolving landscape of human-robot interaction.
