About Me
Hello, Everyone.
I am a senior researcher in Dept. of AI Machinery, System Engineering Research Division, Korea Institute of Machinery & Materials (KIMM), South Korea.
I received the B.S. degree in mechanical engineering from Seoul National University in 2012 and the Ph.D degree in DYROS Lab (Prof. Jaeheung Park) at Seoul National University, Republic of Korea.
At 2015, my collegues and I had participated in DARPA Robotics Challenge Finals 2015 (DRC Finals 2015) as Team SNU and I was studnet leader of our team. My main role was to manage whole framework of robot and develop the upper-body and lower-body position controller.
From 2018 to 2019, I had been a visiting researcher in Gepetto Team (LAAS-CNRS, Toulouse), where I have been working with Nicolas Mansard, Steve Tonneau, Pierre Fernbach, and Carlos Mastalli.
In 2020, I was a research associate of SLMC Group (Prof. Sethu Vijayakumar) at the University of Edinburgh (UoE), United Kingdom.
Main keywords of my reasearches are Optimal Control, Trajectory Optimization, Humanoid Robot, Mobile Manipulation, and Robot Hand Control.
In this website, you can find my projects, publications, videos, and source codes. And my Curriculum Vitae (CV) is here (uptated, 22.09.02).
