About

Changbyung Park is a researcher specializing in wireless power transfer and inductive power transmission systems, with a particular focus on enabling autonomous and continuous operation of mobile and humanoid robots. His most significant contribution is the development of two-dimensional inductive power transfer (IPT) systems designed for mobile robots, featuring innovative power floor architectures with single wire layers and evenly displaced multiple pickup configurations that deliver uniform power across wide areas. This foundational work, published in 2013, has garnered 62 citations and demonstrated scalable power floors exceeding 3.5 square meters in area. Park also pioneered the concept of "Resonant Power Shoes" for humanoid robots, introducing a "Power Mattress" ground structure paired with shoe-integrated secondary coils to enable seamless wireless charging during locomotion — an imaginative solution that bridges robotics and power electronics. His earlier work on omni-directional IPT systems further refined multi-pickup approaches for broader spatial coverage. Collectively, Park's research addresses one of the most practical challenges in mobile robotics — eliminating dependence on physical charging connections — making his work highly relevant for students and engineers advancing autonomous robotic systems.
