About

Hanguen Kim is a robotics and autonomous systems researcher whose work spans multi-robot coordination, unmanned surface vehicles, and intelligent control algorithms. His most significant contribution lies in developing cooperative coevolutionary algorithm-based model predictive control (MPC) frameworks that formally guarantee asymptotic stability in multi-agent systems — a longstanding challenge in evolutionary computation-based control, earning his 2014 paper 42 citations. Kim is perhaps best known for his pioneering role in designing JEROS (Jellyfish Elimination RObotic Swarm), an autonomous surface vehicle system addressing the growing environmental and economic threat posed by jellyfish blooms, with multiple publications spanning detection, path planning, and multi-agent coordination in this domain. His research also ventures into unconventional territory, including biorobotics — notably demonstrating voluntary behavioral control of live turtles — and gesture recognition for mobile sensor platforms. Kim's contributions to curvature-based path planning for unmanned surface vehicles and any-angle formation planning further underscore his breadth across marine robotics and autonomous navigation. Collectively, his work reflects a researcher deeply committed to translating advanced control theory and autonomous systems into real-world, ecologically motivated applications.
