About

Myung Hwan Yun is a leading researcher in human–robot interaction, haptic perception, and multimodal intelligent systems. His work bridges engineering, psychology, and computer science to enhance how humans and machines communicate through touch and movement. Yun’s systematic review on the usability of social robots (36 citations) established a foundational framework for evaluating human–robot interaction, cataloging 163 distinct measures to guide future design. He also pioneered grasp specification for telerobotics using an instrumented glove (35 citations), enabling more intuitive control of robotic hands in virtual reality. His two-dimensional dynamic finger modeling (18 citations) advanced understanding of repetitive motion biomechanics, with implications for ergonomics and rehabilitation. Through comprehensive literature analyses, Yun has mapped the latent semantics of haptic interaction and the evolution of multimodal interfaces, synthesizing decades of research across engineering, neuroscience, and psychology. His contributions have shaped the development of more natural, responsive robotic systems and virtual environments, making him a pivotal figure in the quest to create technology that truly understands human touch and intention.
