Graduate Research Assistant (PhD Student) @ My current research focuses on the whole-body control on humanoid robots dealing with the coordinated two-arm motion control for various manipulation tasks. I am developing a unified representation that can describe any type of coordinated motion of upper-body in the humanoid system. From August 2009 to Present (6 years 3 months) Graduate Research Assistant @ • Modeled and characterized a 38-degree-of-freedom Hubo-II+ humanoid robot in ARTLab
• Investigated and modeled kinematic and dynamic behavior of Hubo-II+ robot and developed motion planning algorithms and control strategies
• Examined computational aspect of humanoid robots with application to disaster site rescue operations – kinematics, dynamics, motion planning and control of humanoid robots, sensing and communication for coordinated control of various rescue operation tasks
• Developed a unified representation for modeling all kinds of coordinated dual-arm manipulation tasks as well as bipedal locomotion tasks, called “Extended Cooperative Task Space (ECTS)” From August 2009 to Present (6 years 3 months) Control Expert for Ladder-Climbing Task @ I had worked on developing the motion/force controller to make humanoid robots to climb an industrial ladder which is one of 8 tasks which are very important operations in disaster sites. Our team was chosen to be one of the six teams, which was entitled to 3 million dollar funding. I competed in DRC-Trials in December 2013 as one of the DRC-Hubo team members, and I was the lead of Purdue for ladder climbing event collaborating with Indiana University. We were able to make a DRC-Hubo robot climb 8 steps out of 9 steps of the ladder successfully getting 2 points. From October 2012 to December 2013 (1 year 3 months) Part-time Engineer @ • Built hardware & electronic circuits used in mobile robots and human-size humanoid robot that can mimic operator’s actions using hydraulic actuators and master-slave device
• Participated in the production of the first robotic movie in Korea, “Doomsday Book” released in April 2012, working with the best film special effect team in Korea From April 2006 to June 2006 (3 months) Ilsan, South Korea
Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.), Electrical Engineering Specialized in Robotics @ Purdue University From 2009 to 2015 B.S., Electronic Engineering @ Kwangwoon University From 2005 to 2009 H. Park is skilled in: Matlab, LaTeX, Machine Learning, Pattern Recognition, Experimentation, Algorithms, Simulations, Data Analysis, Robotics, ROS, C++, Python, C, Programming
