About
Doyoung Jeon is a prominent robotics researcher whose career has centered on wearable assistive robotics, rehabilitation engineering, and human-robot interaction. Best known for his pioneering work on exoskeleton systems for elderly individuals and patients, his 2006 paper on exoskeleton design and control has garnered over 400 citations, establishing him as a leading voice in the field. He developed the SUBAR (Sogang University Biomedical Assistive Robot), an advanced wearable system engineered to assist physically impaired users through intention-driven force control, with subsequent work addressing impedance compensation to improve back-drivability and natural movement assistance. Jeon's contributions extend beyond hardware design — he has advanced control methodologies including hybrid force-position learning control for robot manipulators (132 citations) and generalized assistive control frameworks for lower limb exoskeletons. His interdisciplinary reach is evident in a robotic biopsy device for capsule endoscopy and innovative aquatic therapy-inspired control algorithms. More recently, he has explored AI-driven rehabilitation, proposing an AI therapist capable of delivering expert verbal cues during robot-assisted gait training. Across his body of work, Jeon has consistently bridged mechanical innovation with intelligent control, meaningfully advancing the quality and accessibility of robotic rehabilitation technology.
