Jeonghan Kim

I am a robotics researcher and software engineer focused on path planning for high-dimensional robotic systems under complex constraints.

Most recently, I was a Visiting Student Researcher at the University of Michigan, advised by Prof. Kang G. Shin, where I worked on generative path planning and offline decision-making. Previously, I developed motion-planning software for industrial manipulators at Roboe Technologies and autonomous mobile robot software at Gole Robotics.

I received my B.S. degree in Robot Engineering from Hanyang University ERICA, where I conducted undergraduate research at RAISE Lab. I am grateful to Prof. Youngmoon Lee for his mentorship and guidance during this period.

Experience

Software Engineer, Motion Algorithm Team @ Roboe Technologies (Mar. 2024 - Jun. 2026)

I developed motion algorithms for manipulator-based robot systems, including a Behavior Tree-based framework for efficient motion-task execution and the underlying motion-planning logic. I also worked on task-level optimization and virtual controller development, primarily in C++ and Python.
Intern, Autonomous Driving Software @ Gole Robotics (Aug. 2023 - Oct. 2023)

I developed autonomous mobile robot software, including a packet-based serial communication library aligned with embedded controller protocols and statistical benchmarking of IMU, LiDAR, ToF, and barometer candidates for sensor selection.
