- Short Bio
In recent research activities, Dr. Sohn has been focused on “Enabling
humanoids to perform various tasks in human-centered environments”. To
realize the goal, he has conducted inter-disciplinary researches which
cover various fields (bio-mimetic, cognition, artificial intelligence,
computer vision, optimization and dynamics). He tried to combine them
with state-of-the-art hardware. Current platforms are full-sized
humanoid robot, Hubo+, DRC-Hubo1 and 2. He has been working directly
with the Hubo platform since 2011.
Dr. Sohn received a PhD from MEM, Drexel University in 2014. Academic
advisor was Dr. Paul Oh, former National Science Foundation (NSF)
Robotics program Director.
Recently, he was serving as a Chief of Engineering (COE) in a
team DRC-HUBO@UNLV (DRC-Final 2015 Finalist Team) and as a Chief
Engineer in a robotics research center DASL@UNLV (Drones and Autonomous
Systems Lab). Currently, he is serving as an Assistant Professor in the
department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) in University
of Hartford (UHart).
He is working on full sized humanoids (Hubo+ and DRC-Hubo) and current
research topics include 1) Robot Vision/Perception System Development
and its Data Processing and 2) Whole body motion Design and
Optimization for vehicle handling tasks.
Previously, he served as Task 1 Leader and Hardware Manager of team
DRC-Hubo (Drexel) in DRC Trial 2013. Research interest included Machine
Learning, Robot Kinematics/Dynamics and Computer Vision.
Received a Master of Science degree in School of Engineering and
Applied Science, University of Pennsylvania - Philadelphia, PA at
2006. Worked in Kod*lab (GRASP Lab) and built a Sprawl Edubot
which is Rhex class small hexapod robot (2006-2008).
Worked in Robotics and Neural Systems Laboratory (RNSL), ECE,
University of Arizona (2008-2011). Built a Cognitive robotics
Architecture based on Artificial Personality and manufactured a Human
Interactive Robot. For more details, pls visit Robotics Research Team
