My research Projects
Expanding Application of robotic systems using AI methodologies

As an undergraduate research intern, I began my research career in Artificial Intelligence, Robotics and Trasportation lab under Dr Tsz-Chiu Au. After my service in Republic of Korean Airforce, I continued my research career as graduate researcher in Computer Science.
My research interests include: Multirobot System, Autonomous Driving, Vehicle Motion Planning and Real-Time Perception.
Below are projects I participated during my research career.
