About
Jaehong Seo is a leading roboticist whose work is defined by a relentless drive to push the boundaries of robot mobility and manipulation in challenging, real-world environments. His research masterfully spans the design of specialized hardware and the development of sophisticated control systems, with key contributions in snake-like robots, hydraulic manipulators, and legged locomotion. Seo’s most impactful work, the "Snake Robot Gripper Module for Search and Rescue in Narrow Spaces" (69 citations), introduces a novel gripper that can retract its fingers into its body, enabling a snake robot to navigate confined rubble and then securely grasp irregular objects—a critical capability for disaster response. He has also made significant strides in hydraulic robot control, proposing the "dual virtual spring–damper controller" to dramatically improve position precision, and has advanced off-road mobility with a novel two-wheeled inverted pendulum robot (14 citations). Further demonstrating his versatility, Seo has designed a SLIP-based robot leg for decoupled spring-like behavior (12 citations) and an intuitive master controller for teleoperation that functionally separates movement from gravity compensation. Through this diverse portfolio, Seo is building the foundational hardware and control principles for the next generation of resilient, high-performance robots.
