About
Daegil Park is a marine robotics researcher whose work sits at the intersection of autonomous underwater systems, ship maintenance technology, and cyber-physical operation systems. Based at the Korea Research Institute of Ships and Ocean Engineering (KRISO), Park has made significant contributions to solving real-world maritime challenges through innovative robotic solutions. Park's most impactful work focuses on autonomous hull-cleaning robotics, particularly addressing the persistent problem of biofouling — a challenge with both economic and ecological consequences regulated by the International Maritime Organization. His 2023 paper on a hydraulic manipulator-equipped cleaning robot capable of reaching difficult niche areas of ship hulls has garnered 22 citations, establishing him as a leading voice in this specialized field. Beyond hull maintenance, Park has advanced underwater autonomy across multiple fronts: developing multi-beam echo sounder simulation frameworks for seabed mapping, designing hexapod walking robots for mine-hunting operations, and pioneering Cyber-Physical Operation System (CPOS) frameworks that enhance remote operator awareness and control of underwater vehicles. His work on quad-track underwater rovers and digital twin modeling further demonstrates a broad technical vision for next-generation subsea robotics. With growing citation recognition across seven research directions, Park represents an emerging force in marine engineering and ocean robotics.
