Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndy Park is a robotics leader and roboticist with 15+ years of experience translating humanoid and industrial robot research into real-world, production systems. He has driven whole-body control, torque-controlled actuators, and AI-enabled motion planning from hardware up through software—delivering features used in commercial KUKA cobots and medical robots as well as research-grade loco-manipulation on legged platforms. As a Principal Control Engineer he architects safety-critical motion stacks and bridges classical control with learning-based policies to enable robust, collision-aware manipulation and scalable teleoperation. He also co-founded and now leads K-RAINES to connect Korean robotics and AI professionals across New England, blending technical depth with community building. Based in Cambridge, MA, he holds a Ph.D. in robotics from Purdue and is known for practical, production-focused algorithms like multi-task IK and unified whole-body control frameworks that have moved from lab demos into global deployments. An unusual strength is his hands-on mastery across the stack—mechanics, control, software, and fielding—that shortens the path from prototype to deployed humanoid capability.
