Jong-Oh Park (Korean: 박종오; born September 13, 1955) is a South Korean robotics scholar. He is President of the Korea Institute of Medical Microrobotics[1] and Robot Research Initiative.[2] He joined the faculty of the school of Mechanical System Engineering at the Chonnam National University in South Korea,[3] and presently serves as an executive board member at the International Federation of Robotics (IFR). He has twice received the Scientist of The Year Prize from the Korea Science Reporters Association, and is also the recipient of the IFR's Golden Robot Award, among many other honours. He has also successfully commercialized several robotic systems for medical and industrial applications.[4]

Biography[edit]

Education[edit]

Jong Oh Park received a B.S in Mechanical Engineering from Yonsei University in Seoul. In 1981, he received a M.S in Mechanical Engineering at KAIST in Daejeon.

After his master's degree, he finished a Ph.D in Stuttgart University and worked as a researcher under the supervision of Hans-Jurgen Warnecke at Fraunhofer-IPA, Stuttgart, Germany from 1982 to 1987. [5]

Career[edit]

From 1987 till 2004 he was associated with the Korea Institute of Science and Technology(KIST) and he had served as a director of 21C Frontier Project “ Intelligent Microsystem Program” for 5 years from 1999.

He was a professor of Chonnam National University[6](2005~2022) and a Director of Robot Research Initiative(RRI) in parallel.[7]

He was the Chairman of The International Federation of Robotics (IFR) in 2006 and has been the executive board member of IFR.[8]

In 2013, he worked as a Vice Chair of Organizing Committee of ISR 2013[9] and an Organizing chair of ICCAS 2013[10] and in 2014 he also served as Editor of IEEE Biorob 2014.

From 2014 to 2017, he served as vice president of the Institute of Control, Robotics and Systems(ICROS) and is currently chairman of the institute's BioRobot Research Group.

He was appointed as the member of Presidential Committee on the 4th Industrial Revolution and Ad Hoc Committee on the Healthcare in 2017.

Currently, he established and operates KIMIRo in 2019 as the president of the Korea Institute of Medical Microrobotics(KIMIRo).
