About
Jonghwi Kim is a researcher advancing the fields of autonomous systems, human-robot interaction, and maritime perception. His work focuses on developing intelligent control architectures and robust localization methods for autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs) operating in complex, real-world environments. A key contribution is his behavior-based control framework that explicitly models the interaction between a human operator and an autonomous vessel, addressing a critical safety and coordination challenge in semi-autonomous systems. Additionally, Kim has pioneered GPS-free localization techniques for urban environments, using lidar data and 2D online maps with building outlines to achieve reliable positioning—a vital capability for navigation in GPS-denied areas. His recent survey on maritime perception datasets and technologies provides a comprehensive roadmap for the field, highlighting the growing role of deep learning and sensor fusion in enabling safe ASV navigation. With his most-cited work accumulating over 5 citations, Kim’s research is steadily building a foundation for the next generation of intelligent, human-aware autonomous vessels.
