About
Hyoin Bae is a leading figure in humanoid robotics, best known for his pivotal role in developing the DRC-HUBO+, the humanoid disaster response platform that won the 2015 DARPA Robotics Challenge (DRC) Finals. His research centers on bipedal locomotion, state estimation, and whole-body control for humanoid robots operating in complex, real-world environments. Bae’s most influential work, the DRC-HUBO+ system, is detailed in two highly cited papers (145 and 127 citations) that describe the robot’s hardware design, software framework, and the innovative control strategy that enabled Team KAIST to navigate degraded communication and disaster scenarios. He also advanced biped walking stabilization through capture point feedback control (27 citations) and introduced a walking-wheeling dual-mode strategy (20 citations), allowing humanoids to adapt their locomotion to diverse terrains. Beyond competition success, Bae has contributed novel state estimation frameworks, including a moving horizon estimator (11 citations), and explored torque control for high-gear-ratio robots. With over 400 total citations, his work bridges robust hardware design with sophisticated control theory, setting benchmarks for humanoid robots in disaster response and beyond.
