About

Jungmin Seo is a robotics researcher whose work spans bioinformatics and mechanical systems, with a focus on under-actuated and autonomous vehicles. His early research ventured into genomics, where he contributed to the identification of novel genes in PMA-induced HL-60 cells using cDNA microarrays—a study that has garnered 19 citations and reflects his foundational work in molecular biology. However, Seo is best known for his contributions to mobile robotics and autonomous underwater vehicles. His most impactful work, "Development of a two-wheeled mobile tilting & balancing (MTB) robot" (2011, 9 citations), addresses a critical limitation in two-wheeled balancing robots: the centrifugal force effect during turns. By introducing a tilting mechanism, Seo enhanced stability and maneuverability, advancing the design of under-actuated systems. He further extended his expertise to marine robotics with "Design and Control of 6 D.O.F Hovering AUV" (2013, 3 citations), where he developed a hovering autonomous underwater vehicle (HAUV) equipped with redundant horizontal thrusters. This work improved control and maneuverability in underwater environments, showcasing Seo’s versatility in tackling complex dynamic systems. His interdisciplinary approach—from gene expression to robot control—demonstrates a unique breadth, making his research valuable for students and engineers exploring bio-inspired or autonomous systems.
