About
Pyeong-Gook Jung is a pioneering researcher in wearable robotics and human–robot interaction, with a focus on restoring mobility and enhancing human capability. His work spans gesture recognition, soft sensing, and assistive exoskeletons, most notably the **WalkON Suit**, a wearable robot designed to enable complete paraplegics to walk independently. Jung’s most cited paper (164 citations) introduces a novel wearable gesture recognition device that uses air-pressure sensors to detect muscular activities, offering a safe, non-electrical alternative to traditional EMG. He has also advanced soft robotics with a three-axis force sensor based on radially symmetric pneumatic chambers, enabling compliant human–robot interaction. More recently, Jung developed a wearable multifunctional additive hand system that expands the workspace and grasping ability of the human hand. His research on joint trajectory generation and motion control for paraplegic walking robots has laid critical groundwork for practical rehabilitation exoskeletons. With over 190 total citations, Jung’s contributions are shaping the future of assistive robotics, particularly for individuals with spinal cord injuries.
