research profile

My work connects mobile manipulation, robot learning in simulation, and field robot integration. I have built Isaac Lab/RSL-RL training environments for wheeled-legged and mobile-manipulation tasks, and ROS/Autoware-based AMR systems with LiDAR perception and navigation.

  • Mobile manipulation and dynamic carrying control
  • Robot learning and simulation with Isaac Lab, RSL-RL, PPO, MDP formulation, reward shaping, curriculum design, and policy evaluation
  • Stability-aware evaluation for object tilt, grasp stability, base slip, and chassis leveling
  • AMR perception and navigation with ROS/Autoware and LiDAR detection/tracking
