About

Joong Kyung Park is a pioneering figure in the field of bipedal humanoid robotics, with a primary focus on developing robots capable of seamless integration into human environments. His most notable contribution is the design and realization of Mahru III, a 150 cm, 62 kg biped humanoid robot developed at Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. in 2007. This landmark project laid the groundwork for creating robots that can operate within wireless network environments, moving beyond laboratory settings toward practical, daily-life assistance. The foundational paper on Mahru III, with 44 citations, remains a key reference for researchers exploring full-sized humanoid platforms and their locomotion systems. Park’s work addresses critical challenges in bipedal stability, mechanical design, and networked control, establishing a blueprint for future service robots. His achievements reflect a vision where humanoid robots become accessible, functional companions in homes and workplaces, bridging the gap between advanced robotics research and real-world application.
