About

Jongkwan Park is a robotics researcher whose work centers on autonomous navigation for mobile robots, with a particular focus on corridor environments. His major contributions lie in developing practical, sensor-driven navigation systems that enable differential drive robots to operate without artificial landmarks or reflectors. Park’s most cited paper (10 citations) introduces an autonomous navigation system that leverages a laser scanner to estimate distances between the robot and corridor walls, using natural landmarks and an adaptive breakpoint detector for robust path planning. A closely related follow-up paper (7 citations) refines this approach, emphasizing the use of structural features like walls and pillars to guide movement. Together, these works demonstrate Park’s expertise in laser-based perception, real-time obstacle avoidance, and localization in structured indoor spaces. His research has practical implications for service robots, warehouse automation, and assistive mobility devices, offering cost-effective solutions for environments where GPS is unavailable. Park’s contributions are foundational for researchers exploring sensor fusion, SLAM, and low-cost autonomous navigation systems.
