About

Hyun Surk Kim has made pioneering contributions to the field of robotic manipulation for large-format display manufacturing, specializing in the design of composite-material end effectors and wrist blocks for handling oversized LCD glass panels. His work addresses the critical challenge of transporting fragile, massive glass substrates with precision and minimal breakage, directly supporting the scale-up of flat-panel display production. His most cited papers, including "Composite robot end effector for manipulating large LCD glass panels" (1999, 21 citations) and "Composite wrist blocks for double arm type robots for handling large LCD glass panels" (2002, 19 citations), are foundational references in industrial robotics for display fabrication. These studies introduced lightweight, high-stiffness composite structures that improved robot payload capacity and operational safety. Kim’s research is notable for its practical impact on manufacturing automation, enabling the efficient handling of increasingly large panels as display technology advanced. His work remains a key resource for engineers and researchers developing robotic systems for precision handling of delicate, large-area materials in high-tech industries.
