WHY APPLY
Why Apply to ROBIN Lab?
01. Proven Publication Track Record & Mentorship
The PI has published as first author in Science Robotics, one of the most authoritative venues in robotics. During his tenure as a research professor at Seoul National University, he co-advised 7 students and achieved 5 paper acceptances as first or co-corresponding author in the past year alone. Continuing this strong momentum, he provides close, hands-on guidance to help students publish at top-tier conferences and journals.
02. Strong Academic & Industry Alumni Network
The professional network built during three years at Samsung Research, together with the network of his former lab (INROL), now extends across Samsung, Hyundai, Naver, humanoid startups (e.g., Rainbow Robotics and Holiday Robotics), and academia. Drawing on these connections and experience, we will do our utmost to help students secure positions at the companies or academic institutions they aspire to join after graduation.
03. Cutting-Edge Topics & Global Competitiveness
Our lab continuously drives research on the most advanced frontiers in robotics, including Humanoids, Robot Foundation Models, and Digital Twins. Upon graduation, students emerge as globally competitive researchers equipped with both world-class academic achievements and high-demand practical expertise.
