About

Young-Sik Park is a robotics and space surveillance researcher whose work bridges autonomous systems and satellite observation. He is best known for his leadership in the OWL-Net project, a global network of robotic telescopes designed for satellite tracking and orbital debris monitoring. This 2018 paper, with 31 citations, represents his most influential contribution, establishing a framework for coordinated, ground-based optical observation of space objects. Park’s earlier work in mobile robotics includes the design of a surveillance and combat robot controlled via smartphone, integrating robot technology with information systems (RITS). He has also explored time delay compensation for mobile robots, combining sliding mode control with Smith predictors to improve teleoperation stability. While his citation counts are modest, Park’s contributions are notable for their practical engineering focus—from real-time robotic control to large-scale space situational awareness. His work on OWL-Net, in particular, supports global efforts in space traffic management, making him a key figure in applied robotics and satellite observation systems.
