About
Kangmin Park is a leading figure in robotic manipulation, with a primary focus on the design and control of highly dexterous, sensor-rich robotic hands. His most influential work, the "RoboRay hand," introduced a 14-degree-of-freedom anthropomorphic hand that achieves exceptional backdrivability and efficiency through a novel tendon-driven mechanism. By minimizing frictional losses, this design enables sensorless contact force measurement, a breakthrough that simplifies control while maintaining human-like payload and dexterity. This foundational paper has garnered 51 citations, reflecting its impact on the field of soft and compliant robotics. Park’s contributions extend beyond hardware, as his work bridges the gap between mechanical design and intuitive control, making robotic hands safer and more practical for human-robot interaction. His research is instrumental in advancing prosthetics, industrial automation, and collaborative robotics, where precise, force-sensitive manipulation is critical. Through the RoboRay hand and related projects, Kangmin Park has established himself as a key innovator in creating robotic systems that are both powerful and inherently safe.
