I study task and motion planning, multi-robot systems, and agentic systems with Nancy M. Amato at UIUC .

Previously, as a Ph.D. Resident at X, the Moonshot Factory , I worked on wet-lab automation with robotics and multi-agent LLMs. I earned my bachelor’s in Mechanical Engineering at Yonsei University  (2021), advised by Jongeun Choi.

Projects

Reconfigurable LEGO Factory workcell demo
Interactive demo
Reconfigurable LEGO Factory: Interactive Web Demo

An interactive 3D factory where multi-arm workcells assemble LEGO models while mobile manipulators fetch bricks, planned by a hierarchy of order assignment (MILP), multi-robot task planning and multi-arm motion planning. Configure a workcell's robot arms yourself, or watch the factory run with a live Gantt chart.
