Research projects
From infrastructure perception to communication-assisted robot navigation: research prototypes, field experiments and system integration.
Selected work
2026Field experiments
SPaT / R2X-assisted crosswalk navigation
Integrated ROS 2, Nav2 and a hybrid safety node to make crossing decisions from signal phase and remaining green time. Compared SPaT and vision-based navigation under daytime, nighttime and dynamic occlusion conditions.
2026Thesis research
VLM-based intersection context understanding
Investigating infrastructure-camera scene understanding for AMR waiting, entry and crossing decisions. The thesis plan covers pedestrians, vehicles, crosswalk occupancy and occlusion, with simulation and scenario-based evaluation.
2026System integration
LiDAR navigation & cloud robot experiments
Worked on LiDAR mapping, localization and Nav2 integration for mobile robots, including FAST-LIO navigation experiments at KAIST Munji Campus.
2026Simulation development
Delivery robot digital twin
Configured an Isaac Sim delivery robot pipeline with LiDAR, IMU, camera, odometry, joint states and ROS 2 communication for navigation scenarios.
2025Research prototype
LLM-guided planning in nuPlan
Prototyped an LLM context interpreter that adjusts rule-based PDM planner parameters. Implemented an uncooperative overtaking scenario in nuPlan and compared behavior with a mode-selection baseline.
2025Research & conference posters
Multi-camera pedestrian trajectory perception
Combined YOLOv8, DeepSORT, Re-ID and homography across five CCTV views to study consistent global IDs and pedestrian trajectory recovery.
2024Journal publication
V2X / C-ITS intersection field experiments
Contributed to scenario design, GNSS trajectory collection and analysis of driving behavior around intersection blind spots.
2024Conference research
Infrastructure-based pedestrian recognition
Compared object detection models for real-time pedestrian recognition in infrastructure-based path prediction systems.
2023KIST internship
Face recognition for automatic door control
Developed motion detection with Gaussian Mixture Models, evaluated face detectors and integrated RetinaFace with WebSocket-based face recognition for automatic access control.
2022–2023Team projects & awards
Driver attention & abnormal vehicle detection
Developed vision-based driver gaze and hazardous-object detection components for warning systems. Work included gaze data acquisition and abnormal vehicle behavior analysis.
