About
Hun Jang is a leading researcher in the fields of telepresence robotics, haptic interfaces, and soft robotic manipulation. His most notable contribution is the development of the whole-body integrated AVATAR system, a groundbreaking telepresence platform that combines intuitive motion-based control with immersive multimodal feedback. This system integrates an anthropomorphic teleoperated robot with a sophisticated haptic interface, enabling operators to experience a profound sense of embodiment and agency over a remote robotic body. With 14 citations since 2023, this work has quickly become a touchstone for researchers in teleoperation and human-robot interaction. Jang is also advancing the dexterity of soft robotics, as demonstrated in his 2025 work on tactile sensor-based grasp force and contact state estimation. By embedding tactile sensors into soft fingers, his research aims to bridge the gap between the adaptability of soft grippers and the precision required for fine manipulation. This dual focus on high-fidelity telepresence and intelligent soft grasping positions Jang as a key innovator in creating robots that can safely and effectively operate in unstructured, human-centered environments.
