About
Sun-Sin Han is a pioneering researcher in robotics and power system inspection, whose work bridges intelligent sensing, fault detection, and autonomous navigation. His primary research areas include sensor fusion for high-voltage transmission line inspection, sound source localization for mobile robotics, and RFID-based indoor localization. Han’s most influential contribution is a hierarchical fault detection method for transmission lines, which combines a microphone array to pinpoint partial arc discharges with infrared thermal imaging and CCD cameras for verification and image capture—a system that has garnered 106 citations. His 2009 study on porcelain insulator inspection, with 60 citations, remains a foundational reference for assessing insulator service life under high-voltage conditions. Han also advanced mobile robotics through sound-driven tracking, enabling robots to follow a moving object using microphone arrays, and developed efficient RFID tag arrangements for differential driving robots to achieve precise indoor localization. His work on path-selection control for power line inspection robots, integrating sensor fusion, further demonstrates his ability to solve real-world infrastructure challenges. With over 190 total citations, Han’s research continues to influence both industrial inspection systems and autonomous robotic navigation.
