About
Ju Won Jeong is a leading researcher in the field of surgical robotics and optical sensing, with a primary focus on restoring critical force feedback in minimally invasive procedures. His major contributions center on the development of Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensor systems designed to measure and transmit force information from surgical tools. This work directly addresses a fundamental limitation of minimally invasive robotic surgery (MIRS), where the surgeon’s sense of touch is completely eliminated. Jeong’s pioneering 2011 paper, "Development of FBG sensor system for force-feedback in minimally invasive robotic surgery," which has garnered 27 citations, introduced a novel method for force reflection sensing. He further refined this approach in his 2014 work, "Optical fiber Bragg grating (FBG) force reflection sensing system of surgical tool for minimally invasive surgery," which has 11 citations. By integrating FBG sensors into the long, stiff bars of surgical instruments, Jeong’s research enables surgeons to "feel" the forces exerted on tissue during robot-assisted operations, significantly enhancing precision and safety. His work represents a vital step toward making robotic surgery more intuitive and effective, bridging the gap between human dexterity and machine precision.
