mqjinwon@gmail.com
I am a Research Engineer and Team Lead of the Robot Intelligence Team at Korea Robot Manufacturing (KRM), building autonomous navigation and AI systems for quadruped robots. I got my M.S. in Robotics from KAIST (2023) at the SGVR lab under Prof. Sung-Eui Yoon, and my B.S. from Kwangwoon University (2021).
My work covers the full robot stack โ SLAM, motion planning, and mission-level decision making โ deployed on real hardware in outdoor environments. I am particularly interested in legged robot locomotion, reinforcement learning, and system identification for closing the sim-to-real gap.
