About
Dr. Hee-Yung Jeong is a leading researcher in defense robotics and human-robot collaboration, with a primary focus on enhancing safety and automation in high-risk military environments. Her most notable contribution is the development of a pioneering test system for human-robot cooperation in indoor gun and ammunition firing ranges, published in 2023. This work addresses a critical safety challenge: the manual handling and loading of heavy, high-caliber ammunition for self-propelled howitzers and tank guns, which poses significant and recurring risks to personnel. Dr. Jeong’s key innovation lies in integrating autonomous transport technology with robotic loading systems to automate the most dangerous steps—ammunition transport and loading—effectively replacing manual labor in these hazardous tasks. By proposing a hybrid system that combines unmanned autonomous transport with robotics-based loading, she offers a viable path to fundamentally improve worker safety and the working environment. While her work is recent, with 2 citations to date, its direct application to solving a long-standing, high-stakes problem in defense testing marks her as an emerging authority in the field of military robotics and occupational safety.
