About

Dr. Kyung-Joon Park is a leading researcher at the intersection of robotics, cybersecurity, and autonomous systems, with a primary focus on the Robot Operating System (ROS) and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). His most impactful work, "A Robot Operating System Framework for Secure UAV Communications" (2021, 36 citations), addresses the critical challenge of integrating diverse hardware and software components—including flight controllers, network devices, and ground control stations—to enable secure, advanced UAV operations. This foundational contribution has shaped how researchers approach the security and modularity of aerial robotic systems. Dr. Park further advances the field with recent innovations in autonomous mobile robotics, including PINMAP (2025), a cost-efficient algorithm for glass detection and mapping using low-cost 2-D LiDAR, and pioneering work on integrating ROS 2 with Physical AI to enable real-time, adaptive robot learning. His empirical studies on cyber attack and defense in UAVs (2021) provide essential frameworks for neutralizing malicious drone threats. Through these contributions, Dr. Park is driving the evolution of secure, intelligent, and physically capable robotic systems.
