About

Jae-Hyung Jang is a pioneering roboticist whose work sits at the intersection of soft robotics, wearable haptics, and bio-inspired design. His research focuses on developing novel mechanisms that enable robots to interact more naturally and effectively with their environments and with humans. Jang’s major contributions include the creation of an origami-inspired feeding mechanism for soft growing robots—a breakthrough that allows a camera to remain securely at the robot’s tip during eversion-based extension. This work, cited 30 times, addresses a critical challenge in field exploration robotics by ensuring continuous visual feedback from the robot’s leading edge. More recently, Jang has ventured into the realm of embodied intelligence with a glove-type wearable haptic interface that leverages auxetic materials to connect humans with robots and the metaverse. This innovative design, already garnering 8 citations since its 2025 publication, captures the full dynamic range of finger motion, enabling more intuitive and immersive interaction. Jang’s work is notable for its creative fusion of materials science and robotics, pushing the boundaries of how soft machines can sense, move, and communicate.
