About

Jae Hyung Kim is a robotics researcher whose work focuses on advancing the control and safety of robotic manipulators. His primary research areas include nonlinear control theory, fractional-order systems, and sensor-less collision detection. Kim’s most significant contribution is the development of the fast fractional-order terminal sliding mode control (FFOTSMC) for seven-degree-of-freedom robot arms. This novel controller, detailed in his most-cited paper (14 citations), applies fractional-order calculus to both the sliding surface and control law, achieving superior tracking precision and robustness compared to conventional methods. In parallel, Kim addresses a critical safety challenge with his work on sensor-less obstacle collision detection (3 citations). By employing advanced observer techniques, he enables robots to detect collisions without external sensors, reducing cost and complexity while improving reliability. This dual focus on high-performance control and intrinsic safety positions Kim as a contributor to more capable and autonomous robotic systems. His research is particularly relevant for industrial automation and human-robot collaboration, where precise motion and safe interaction are paramount.
