About
Seong-Yong Kim is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of advanced manufacturing and human-robot interaction, with a particular focus on construction and disaster-response robotics. His work spans two distinct but impactful domains: additive manufacturing process control and safe human-robot collaboration in safety-critical environments. In manufacturing, Kim’s most-cited paper (24 citations) introduces novel resistance control methods for roll-to-roll gravure printing of conductive layers, advancing the precision and reliability of printed electronics. More recently, he has become a leading voice in construction robotics, with his 2024 studies on human-robot proxemic norms (15 and 5 citations) providing foundational insights into how workers naturally navigate around autonomous robots on jobsites. These works establish critical guidelines for robot navigation that respect interpersonal space—a key safety prerequisite. Kim also contributed to rapid 3D point cloud segmentation for disaster site monitoring (4 citations), demonstrating his versatility in applying robotics to life-saving scenarios. His research uniquely bridges the gap between manufacturing process innovation and the social dynamics of human-robot teamwork, earning recognition for its practical impact on both factory floors and construction sites.
