About

Poong Woo Jeon is a pioneering researcher in the field of human-robot interaction and teleoperated robotic systems. His work centers on bridging the gap between human motion and robotic control, with a particular emphasis on exoskeleton-based interfaces and sensor-driven navigation. Jeon’s most influential contribution is the development of a teleoperated mobile robot system controlled through an exoskeleton-type motion capturing device, enabling intuitive, real-time wireless control of a dual-arm robot. This foundational work, cited 18 times, has inspired further advances in remote robotic manipulation and wearable control interfaces. He also explored novel human-robot interaction paradigms, including a boxing robot application that demonstrated dynamic, real-time engagement between human operators and machines. Additionally, Jeon introduced the concept of a “blind mobile robot” that uses force sensors for obstacle avoidance and trajectory tracking—an innovative approach mimicking human sensory substitution. Though his citation counts are modest, Jeon’s work represents early, creative steps toward intuitive robotic control and sensor-based autonomy, laying groundwork for modern teleoperation and assistive robotics.
