Ph.D. Student in Mechanical Engineering at KAIST

Learning-based control, motion generation, and perception for legged robots.

My research combines motion priors, reinforcement learning, and onboard perception for dynamic motion generation and perceptive locomotion. I am currently extending these methods from quadrupeds to humanoid locomotion, with whole-body manipulation as a future direction.
