About
Sun-Woo Baek is a robotics researcher whose work sits at the intersection of autonomous navigation and agricultural automation. His primary research areas include autonomous vehicle control systems, leader-follower vehicle coordination, and the practical deployment of robotics in agricultural settings. Baek's most significant contribution is the development of a novel control architecture for leader-follower tracked vehicles in agriculture, which integrates skid steering with a pure pursuit algorithm using a β compensation coefficient. This system, detailed in his 2018 paper (5 citations), employs a 1-channel LiDAR and camera for perception, enabling robust autonomous following behavior. Baek also demonstrated his expertise in real-world autonomous driving by developing VIROS, Kookmin University's entry for the 2018 International Autonomous Vehicle Competition (2 citations). His work is notable for bridging the gap between theoretical control systems and practical field applications, particularly in the challenging domain of tracked vehicle dynamics. By leveraging the Robot Operating System (ROS) for system integration, Baek's research provides a scalable framework for agricultural automation, contributing to the growing field of precision agriculture and autonomous ground vehicles.
