I’m Hae Min Cho, currently serving as an Assistant Professor at Gachon University. I received my B.S. (2015) and Ph.D. (2023) degrees in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from Yonsei University, Seoul, Korea. Prior to joining Gachon University, I worked as a senior researcher at HD Hyundai Robotics. My research interests include robotics, SLAM, and Unmanned Vehicles.

I aspire to integrate robots seamlessly into our daily lives, enhancing the way we live and interact with technology.
