About
Dr. Ayoung Hong is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of medical microrobotics, soft robotics, and agricultural automation. Her most impactful work centers on developing guide-wired helical microrobots for percutaneous revascularization in chronic total occlusion, achieving 48 citations for her *in-vivo* validation that mimics corkscrew motion for autonomous atherectomy. She has also made significant contributions to robotic capsule endoscopy, creating advanced localization systems using magnetoquasistatic fields—including a six-dimensional localization method and a dual-electromagnet actuation system (DEMA)—that enable precise navigation within the digestive tract. Her research extends to high-performance biocompatible artificial muscles using graphene nanoplatelets and cellulose acetate (47 citations), as well as bioinspired soft robots that crawl, tumble, and perform pick-and-place tasks. Dr. Hong’s work demonstrates remarkable breadth, from wireless walking paper robots driven by magnetic polymer actuators to human-centered agricultural robotic systems designed for efficiency and sustainability. With over 200 cumulative citations across her top ten papers, she is recognized for advancing minimally invasive medical procedures, enhancing detection performance through machine learning techniques like RandAugment, and contributing to multimodal feedback systems for teleoperation. Her innovative, interdisciplinary approach continues to inspire students and researchers in robotics and biomedical engineering.
