Work

  • 2025.07 - 2025.08

    Daejeon, Korea

    Research Intern
    Autonomous Driving Intelligence Lab (ETRI, Korea)
    • Developed an auto-labeling tool that extracts lanes/trajectories/actors/work-zones from surround-view + LiDAR + HD maps, generating VQA fine-tuning JSONL.
    • Used vision-fine-tuned InternVL 3.0 and GPT-4o/5 (API) to produce scene-understanding and action-decision outputs for end-to-end autonomous driving.
  • 2023.03 - 2024.05

    Seoul, Korea

    Autonomous Driving Developer
    Immersion
    • Led Perception & Navigation; built an end-to-end outdoor autonomy stack from hardware design and sensing to path planning and control.
    • Designed and integrated a prediction-based avoidance module, improving dynamic obstacle handling in the existing autonomy stack.
  • 2021.07 - 2022.08

    Korea

    Undergraduate Research Assistant
    Human-Robot Interaction Lab, Kyung Hee University

Projects

  • 2025.03 - 2025.06
    Enhancing Diffusion-Based End-to-End Autonomous Driving with VLM
    • Improved trajectory diversity and performance with VLM-guided dynamic anchor sampling; switched to a lightweight YOLO sampler for real-time with comparable results.
    • Built a VLM-based Trajectory Scorer that re-ranks candidates by centerline alignment and collision-avoidance metrics, improving final path selection.
  • 2024.07 - 2025.03
    Autonomous Pick-and-Place Robot System with Multi-Floor Navigation (Husky + UR3)
    • Developed an autonomous multi-floor pick-and-place robot system using a Husky-UR3.
    • Applied hybrid maps, AI vision, and AR-marker to ensure safe navigation and accurate button press.
  • 2023.11 - 2024.03
    Outdoor Advertising Robot (Immersion Project)
    • Enhanced dynamic obstacle avoidance by predicting obstacle motion using ByteTrack + Kalman filter.
    • Developed a GUI-linked behavior tree for flexible and user-driven navigation control.
  • 2023.09 - 2023.10
    Woowa Bros. Robot Delivery Challenge
    • Stabilized GPS-denied localization by fusing 3D LiDAR-based pose and IMU on a prebuilt 3D map.
    • Calculated pedestrian speed and direction from YOLOv5 and LiDAR data, integrating collision risk into DWA for safe local path planning.
  • 2023.05 - 2023.06
    Lane-Keeping System in CARLA Simulator
    • Developed a robust lane-keeping system using YOLOPv2, BEV, and Kalman filtering.
    • Applied quadratic curve fitting and Stanley controller to compute accurate steering angles.
