Shinkyu Park is an Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering and the PI of Distributed Systems and Autonomy Lab. Park’s research group focuses on learning, planning, and control in multi-robot systems. They aim to build individual robots’ core capabilities of sensing, actuation, and communication and to train them to learn the ability to work as a team and attain high-level of autonomy in distributed information processing, decision making, and manipulation. The group applies ML/AI methods to process sensor data to allow robots to perceive and interact with surrounding environments, and to implement computational models for robot decision making demonstrating high-level autonomy and social behavior. They are applying research outcomes to applications in environmental monitoring, factory automation, and service robotics.
