research profile

My work connects autonomous driving and robot perception with learning-based robotics and field-system integration. I have built ROS/Autoware-based autonomous mobile-robot systems with LiDAR perception and navigation, along with Isaac Lab/RSL-RL environments for wheeled-legged and mobile-manipulation tasks.

  • Autonomous driving and robot perception with environment understanding, detection/tracking, and perception-to-planning integration
  • Robot learning and simulation with Isaac Lab, RSL-RL, PPO, MDP formulation, reward shaping, curriculum design, and policy evaluation
  • Field-system integration with ROS2/Autoware, CAN, LiDAR mapping, and autonomous navigation
  • Stability-aware evaluation for mobile manipulation, chassis leveling, and rough-terrain driving
