Engineering systems
that perceive, estimate,
plan, and act.

A technical portfolio by Sooyong Kim covering robotics research, ROS 2 projects, perception, state estimation, sensor fusion, localization, planning, control, manipulation, aerial robotics, and engineering analysis.

Built as a continuously updated record of completed engineering work — with demos, reports, measurements, and source code where applicable.

Selected Work

Current robotics portfolio

Each project follows the same evidence-first structure: result, demo, technical report, and source code.

PROJECT 01

EKF Sensor Fusion

Wheel odometry and IMU fusion for mobile robot localization in ROS 2 and Gazebo.

Completed
PROJECT 02

Vision Perception Pipeline

Real-time object detection, persistent tracking, and instance segmentation using YOLO and GPU acceleration.

Completed
Research & Work

Graduate research and technical work

Earlier research is being migrated into the same presentation system so historical work and current projects read as one coherent engineering record.

University of Waterloo

Mobile robotics, autonomous systems, LiDAR-camera fusion, MPC, path planning, robotics instruction, lab manuals, and robot demonstrations.
