About
Sukyoung Won is a leading researcher in the field of soft robotics and magnetic actuation, with a focus on developing untethered, miniaturized robots capable of complex, collective behaviors. Her major contributions center on the orbital maneuvering and collective swimming of magnetically articulated soft robots, enabling parallel control of multiple robots for cooperative tasks—a breakthrough that overcomes the interference challenges inherent in magnetic systems. Her most cited work, “On-demand orbital maneuver of multiple soft robots via hierarchical magnetomotility” (81 citations), and her studies on multimodal collective swimming (50 citations) have established foundational principles for swarm robotics in viscous environments. Won has also pioneered sustainable approaches to soft robotics, including closed-loop 4D printing of sulfur-rich polymer composites for autonomous task execution. Her research on agile underwater swimming of polymeric microrobots and high-amplitude magnetic oscillation of micropillar arrays demonstrates her versatility in addressing both fundamental material properties and practical locomotion challenges. With over 270 total citations and a growing portfolio of high-impact publications, Won’s work is shaping the future of miniaturized, remotely controlled robotic systems for biomedical and environmental applications.
