Ryu, Jee-Hwan Prof.

Professor Ryu, Jee-Hwan is affiliated with the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at KAIST. His research focuses on Robotics, with particular emphasis on interactive robotic systems, including telerobotics in extreme environments, soft exoskeletons, and autonomous vehicles. He is the CTO of Bio-Rob Inc. and has held various academic and industry positions, including Assistant/Associate/Full Professor at KOREATECH and Visiting Professor at Stanford. His work spans construction robots, haptics, and soft continuum robots, with applications in disaster response, agriculture, and mining.

Jee-Hwan Ryu is a Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at KAIST, specializing in haptics, teleoperation, exoskeletons, twisted string actuators, and autonomous vehicles. His research focuses on developing stable and energy-efficient control systems for haptic interfaces and teleoperation systems, particularly under time-varying communication delays. He has contributed significantly to the design of portable exoskeletons for daily activities and the development of twisted string actuation systems. His work also includes the control of underwater manipulators and steer-by-wire systems for enhanced driving feedback. Ryu's research emphasizes the integration of passivity-based control and networked systems to improve the performance and safety of robotic and autonomous systems.
