About

Dr. Nam-Seok Seo is a robotics and computer vision researcher whose work centers on real-time 3D sensing for autonomous systems. His primary research areas include structured-light range sensing, compact sensor design, and embedded vision systems for robotic applications. Dr. Seo’s most significant contribution is the development of a real-time, compact structured-light range sensor that integrates a CMOS image sensor with a Digital Micromirror Device (DMD), achieving a remarkably small form factor of just 168×50×60 mm. This innovation addresses a critical need in robotics for miniaturized, high-speed depth perception, enabling more agile and space-efficient robot platforms. His seminal 2012 paper on this topic has garnered 17 citations, establishing a foundation for subsequent work in portable 3D sensing. By prioritizing both real-time performance and hardware miniaturization, Dr. Seo’s research bridges the gap between laboratory-grade sensing and practical, deployable robotic systems, making him a notable contributor to the advancement of compact vision technologies for real-world applications.
