About

Hyosin Kim is a leading researcher in mobile robotics, with a specialized focus on omni-directional locomotion systems. Her work centers on the design, control, and error analysis of mobile robots equipped with Mecanum wheels, a technology that enables vehicles to move in any direction without turning. Kim’s major contributions include identifying the critical sources of position errors in Mecanum wheel-based robots—such as wheel slip and suspension effects—and developing corrective methods like wheel parameter adjustment. She also pioneered the use of fuzzy logic control to enhance stability and maneuverability in these systems, addressing instability issues found in earlier custom-designed prototypes. Her foundational papers, including "The sources of position errors of omni-directional mobile robot with Mecanum wheel" (40 citations) and "Design and control of mobile robot with Mecanum wheel" (26 citations), are widely referenced in the field. These works have become essential reading for engineers and researchers working on advanced mobile platforms for industrial automation, logistics, and service robotics, cementing Kim’s reputation as a key innovator in omni-directional vehicle control.
