About

Seohyun Jeon is a robotics researcher whose work centers on multi-robot systems, task allocation, and autonomous mobile robots, with a particular focus on real-world applications in hospital logistics. Over the course of his career, Jeon has made significant contributions to the challenge of deploying fleets of robots efficiently in complex, dynamic environments, developing optimization methods that allow multiple robots to handle multiple concurrent delivery tasks rather than operating individually. His most cited work, "Multi-robot task allocation for real-time hospital logistics" (2017, 28 citations), introduced a fleet optimization framework that substantially advanced how autonomous robots are coordinated in healthcare settings. Complementary studies explored vehicle routing problems, scheduling algorithms, and simulation frameworks to evaluate and scale these systems, collectively accumulating over 90 citations. Beyond hospital applications, Jeon has investigated heterogeneous multi-robot control architectures that incorporate human-in-the-loop decision-making, large-area cleaning strategies, and indoor surveillance task allocation, demonstrating a broad command of multi-robot coordination challenges. His simulation tools have also provided practical guidance for hospitals determining how many robots to deploy. Jeon's body of work represents a sustained and impactful effort to bridge theoretical robotics research with meaningful, real-world service automation.
