About

Woong-Ji Kim is a robotics researcher whose work sits at the intersection of human-robot interaction, mobile robotics, and intelligent display systems. Kim's most recognized contribution centers on the development of an interactive display robot — an innovative system that integrates a hand-held small projector, a mobile robot platform, an RGB-D sensor, and a pan/tilt device to create a dynamic projection experience within indoor environments. This research demonstrates a compelling vision for how robots can serve as flexible, spatially aware display surfaces, capable of projecting onto virtually any surface while responding intuitively to user commands through natural user interfaces. By enabling users to manipulate both the robot's movement and projection direction through gesture- or body-based interaction, Kim's work removes traditional barriers between human operators and robotic systems, making the technology more accessible and practical. The research has accumulated citations across multiple publication venues, reflecting its relevance to communities working in service robotics, augmented environments, and user-centered design. Kim's contributions represent an important step toward seamlessly embedding intelligent robotic displays into everyday human spaces.
