About

Minje Choi is a rising researcher in autonomous robotics and sustainable urban mobility, with a focus on integrating intelligent systems into city infrastructure. Their work spans energy-efficient robot operations, human-aware navigation, and the societal impact of autonomous mobile robots. Choi’s most cited paper, “Autonomous driving parking robot systems for urban environmental benefit evaluation” (2024, 11 citations), pioneers the assessment of robotic parking solutions for reducing urban congestion and emissions. In “Energy efficient robot operations by adaptive control schemes” (2024, 8 citations), they address global sustainability goals by developing adaptive control strategies that minimize energy consumption in transport robots, aligning with pedestrian-friendly urban policies. Their research on “Human-Aware Trajectory Optimization for Enhancing D* Algorithm for Autonomous Robot Navigation” (2024, 4 citations) improves path planning for sidewalk robots by considering pedestrian dynamics, enhancing safety and efficiency. More recently, “Intelligent Moving Cities: Technological Leap and Social Integration of Autonomous Mobile Robots” (2025, 2 citations) explores the broader societal integration of these technologies. With a growing citation record, Choi is making notable contributions to energy-efficient, human-centric autonomous systems, positioning themselves as a key voice in the future of smart, sustainable cities.
