About

Dongju Park is a robotics researcher whose work centers on multi-robot coordination, mobile manipulation, and non-holonomic control systems. Park’s most influential contribution is a leader-follower formation control strategy for wheeled mobile robots, which integrates a kinematic controller with a dynamic sliding mode controller to achieve precise, stable group motion. This approach, published in 2017, uses a lidar sensor on the leader robot to measure relative distances and angles, enabling robust formation maintenance even under disturbances. The paper has garnered 12 citations, reflecting its practical value in swarm robotics and autonomous navigation. Park also advanced dual-arm manipulation in ROS environments, developing a vision-based grasping strategy that adapts to object shape for stable, dexterous handling. Additionally, Park explored ball robot locomotion, designing driving controls based on slip patterns to improve mobility on challenging surfaces. These contributions demonstrate a consistent focus on bridging theoretical control methods with real-world robotic applications, making Park’s work relevant for researchers in cooperative robotics, sensor-based control, and ROS-based automation.
