About
Heejin Jeong is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction (HRI), mixed reality, and wearable robotics, whose work is reshaping how humans and intelligent systems collaborate in real-world environments. Best known for developing safety-aware frameworks that bridge physical and digital spaces, Jeong's most influential contribution — an integrated mixed reality system combining deep learning and digital twin generation for human-robot collaboration — has garnered over 226 citations since 2021, establishing her as a leading voice in safe HRC design. Her hands-free multimodal interaction system, which leverages eye gazing and head gestures in mixed reality environments, reflects her commitment to inclusive, intuitive interfaces for operators working with physical constraints. Beyond HRI, Jeong has made significant strides in wearable exoskeleton research, exploring metabolic cost estimation, personalized squat assistance, and muscle recruitment — work that carries strong implications for occupational health and rehabilitation robotics. Her team's participation in the 2015 DARPA Robotics Challenge further demonstrates her breadth in disaster-response robotics. With a growing body of work spanning biosignal-integrated systems, extended reality safety protocols, and assistive meal robots, Jeong's research consistently centers the human experience within increasingly autonomous technological ecosystems.
