About
Yong-Jun Jeong is a robotics researcher specializing in the design of high-performance sensors and soft robotic systems for human-robot interaction. His work focuses on two key areas: developing precision torque sensors for safe, cooperative industrial robots, and creating soft, wearable robotic gloves that deliver high gripping force. In his most-cited work (15 citations), Jeong introduced a capacitive-type torque sensor that uses a novel flexure structure to achieve high stiffness while significantly improving sensitivity, enabling safer and more responsive collaborative robots. His second major contribution (7 citations) is a soft robotic glove that overcomes a critical limitation of conventional soft actuators—low force output—by employing a force-distributing compliant structure. This design allows the glove to generate substantial gripping force while remaining flexible and adaptive to natural human hand motion. Jeong’s research bridges the gap between rigid, high-stiffness robotics and compliant, human-safe systems, advancing both industrial automation and assistive technology. His work is particularly notable for its practical impact on cooperative robotics and rehabilitation, demonstrating how clever mechanical design can solve fundamental trade-offs in stiffness, sensitivity, and force output.
