About

Dong‐Hoon Yang is a researcher whose work bridges the fields of mobile robotics and medical technology. His primary research areas include path planning, collision avoidance, and multi-robot coordination. Yang made significant contributions to improving the efficiency and safety of autonomous navigation. His most cited work, "A roadmap construction algorithm for mobile robot path planning using skeleton maps" (2006, 30 citations), addresses key limitations of conventional skeleton maps—such as unnecessary turns and collisions—by proposing a refined algorithm that generates smoother, more practical paths. He further advanced the field with a decentralized collision avoidance algorithm using potential fields (2004, 9 citations) and cooperative control strategies for multiple nonholonomic robots carrying objects (2003, 9 citations). Yang also explored vision-based local path planning, integrating projective geometry and wavefront methods for obstacle extraction and 2D-3D transformation (2006, 5 citations). Notably, his work extends into medical robotics, as seen in his 2019 paper on robotic systems for colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (2 citations), highlighting a shift toward surgical applications. With a career spanning over two decades, Yang’s research demonstrates a commitment to solving real-world navigation challenges, from factory floors to operating rooms.
