About
Hyunki Seong is a robotics and autonomous systems researcher whose work spans mobile manipulation, autonomous driving, and robot navigation in complex environments. Based at KAIST, Seong has made notable contributions to the field of autonomous racing through his involvement with Team KAIST at the Indy Autonomous Challenge, where his team developed high-performance systems capable of head-to-head racing at the limits of perception, planning, and control — work that has accumulated over a dozen citations across multiple publications. His research into competitive autonomous driving in congested environments addresses critical real-world challenges, including communication failures in vehicle-to-everything (V2X) systems, demonstrating a strong applied focus. Beyond autonomous vehicles, Seong has advanced mobile robotics through adaptive position-force control and reinforcement learning for door-opening tasks, as well as a hierarchical path planning framework enabling mobile robots to navigate unstructured, partially observable environments. With a growing citation record across publications from 2023 to 2024, Seong represents an emerging voice in the autonomous systems community, bridging theoretical rigor with practical deployment in some of the most demanding robotic scenarios imaginable.
