About

Jinok Shin is a researcher specializing in the control and localization of small-scale indoor aerial vehicles, with a particular focus on ducted-fan type OAVs (Omni-directional Aerial Vehicles). Her key research areas include indoor flight control, ultrasonic positioning systems, and low-cost 3D localization for flying robots. Shin’s major contributions center on developing affordable, high-performance navigation solutions for indoor environments, where GPS is unavailable. Her most cited work, "Indoor Hovering Control of Small Ducted-fan Type OAV Using Ultrasonic Positioning System" (2010, 9 citations), demonstrates a method for stable hovering control. In her earlier influential paper, "Indoor flying robot control and 3D indoor localization system" (2009, 8 citations), she introduced a novel 3D localization method using an Ultrasonic Positioning System (UPS), specifically addressing the challenge of high-end pricing in existing systems. The primary objective of this study was to create a low-cost yet effective localization system, making indoor flight more accessible. While her citation counts are modest, Shin’s work is notable for its practical engineering approach, directly tackling cost barriers in robotics. Her research remains relevant for students and engineers interested in affordable indoor UAV navigation and control systems.
