About
Ki-yeop Sung is a leading researcher in the safety and risk assessment of personal care robots, a field critical to the safe integration of service robots into human environments. His work focuses on identifying hazardous risk factors and developing systematic countermeasures to prevent accidents in non-production settings where robots interact directly with people. In his highly cited 2017 study, Sung conducted a comprehensive investigation of domestic and international accident cases and statistical data, establishing foundational safety protocols for personal care robots. His 2018 case study on mobile servant robots advanced this work by applying rigorous risk assessment methodologies to estimate the likelihood and severity of injuries or illnesses caused by robotic systems. Though his citation counts reflect the emerging nature of this field, Sung’s contributions are pivotal for engineers and safety regulators developing standards for human-robot interaction. His research directly addresses the urgent need for safety measures as personal care robots become more prevalent in homes and healthcare facilities, making him a key voice in the responsible deployment of assistive robotics.
