About
Yun-Su Ha is a robotics researcher whose work spans mobile robot navigation, autonomous control systems, and human-robot interaction. He is perhaps best known for his pioneering research on inverse pendulum type mobile robots — self-balancing, two-wheeled platforms that present significant challenges in stability and motion control. His 1996 paper on trajectory tracking control for this class of robot became a landmark contribution to the field, accumulating 193 citations and establishing foundational control strategies that influenced subsequent generations of mobile robotics research. Ha's work has consistently addressed the challenge of making autonomous robots practical and reliable in real-world environments. His research on environmental map building using low-cost infrared range-finder sensors combined with neural networks demonstrated an accessible approach to accurate spatial perception, while his 1997 investigations into adaptive stabilization for indoor navigation further broadened the applicability of autonomous mobile systems. More recently, Ha has expanded his research portfolio into human-robot interaction, exploring text-to-gesture systems that enable robots to generate natural gestures automatically, as well as multi-robot cooperation for object transportation and unmanned surface robots for marine trash collection. With over 300 cumulative citations, Ha's career reflects a sustained commitment to advancing intelligent, adaptive robotic systems across diverse and increasingly relevant application domains.
