About

Jeong-Woo Seo is a leading researcher in swarm robotics and human-swarm interaction (HSI), with a focus on developing accessible, scalable platforms to bridge the gap between algorithmic theory and real-world deployment. His most notable contribution is the creation of the Adaptable Platform for Interactive Swarm Robotics (APIS), a pioneering testbed composed of fifty low-cost robots designed to accelerate HSI research. This work, published in 2019 with 12 citations, provides a reproducible, cost-effective infrastructure for studying how humans can intuitively command and collaborate with large robot collectives—a critical step toward practical applications in search-and-rescue, environmental monitoring, and automated logistics. Seo’s research emphasizes modularity and user-centered design, enabling rapid prototyping of swarm behaviors and real-time interaction experiments. By lowering the barrier to entry for swarm robotics experimentation, his platform has become a foundational tool for both academic labs and industry researchers. Seo’s contributions stand out for their practical impact, offering a tangible pathway from theoretical swarm algorithms to functional, human-guided robotic systems.
