About

Yoon Jung Park is a pioneering researcher in human-robot interaction and projection-based augmented reality (AR), with a particular focus on socially assistive robotics. Her work centers on developing AR-enabled robots that enhance human experiences in everyday settings, from museums and meeting rooms to care facilities and classrooms. Park’s major contributions include the design of human-aware path planning for projection AR robots, enabling seamless interaction with crowds in public spaces, and the creation of assistive systems for elderly individuals with dementia—addressing cognitive decline through interactive, projected cues. Her research also extends to early childhood education and safety, as demonstrated by the Deep-ChildAR bot, which uses deep learning for object detection to create engaging, real-world learning tools for preschoolers. With multiple papers accumulating citations in the single digits—a testament to the emerging nature of this field—Park’s work has laid foundational groundwork for future innovations. Notably, her Meet AR-bot system streamlines meeting preparation by projecting necessary information, showcasing her commitment to practical, user-centered design. Park’s interdisciplinary approach continues to shape how robots can augment human capabilities across diverse populations.
