Sang Min Kim

I am a Ph.D. student in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Seoul National University, advised by Prof. Young Min Kim, and I am currently a visiting student at the MIT Biomimetic Robotics Lab, hosted by Prof. Sangbae Kim.

My research goal is generalizable manipulation. I believe each stage—from perception to control—offers problems that are easier to solve on its own terms, and generalization comes from weaving these solutions together across the full pipeline. Rather than specializing in a single stage, I want to be a generalist who spans the whole pipeline to build robots that manipulate reliably across novel objects, tasks, and environments.
