About
Dr. Hieyong Jeong is a robotics researcher whose work bridges human-robot interaction, rehabilitation engineering, and surgical systems. His primary research areas include assistive robotics for healthcare, robotic manipulation, and human motion analysis. Dr. Jeong’s most significant contributions focus on evaluating and improving the quality of service robots, particularly those assisting with sit-to-stand (STS) movements—a critical task for elderly and disabled patients. He pioneered the use of discriminant analysis and center-of-mass evaluation to detect and classify user “faults” or negative psychological changes during robot-assisted STS movement, with his 2017 paper on fault classification accumulating 30 citations. This work directly addresses the often-overlooked psychological impact of robotic assistance, proposing quantitative methods to assess service quality. Additionally, Dr. Jeong has made notable contributions to robotic hand design, developing a novel four-fingered robot hand with a dual turning mechanism (26 citations) that simplifies manipulation planning through a shared rotational axis. His recent work extends to surgical robotics, including a 3D-printed foot interface for operating multiple monitors in surgical robot systems, and agricultural robotics, such as a 4-finger end-effector for paprika harvesting. With a portfolio spanning from fundamental mechanism design to applied human-robot interaction, Dr. Jeong’s research has garnered over 90 citations, demonstrating its impact on advancing safe, effective, and user-centered robotic systems.
