Senior🎓
Top SchoolWoong Kwon is a Principal Engineer at Samsung Electronics’ Global Technology Center, leading R&D in autonomous navigation for mobile robots and UAVs as well as smart manufacturing systems. With a deep academic foundation (Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Seoul National University) and over two decades of industry research, he has applied optimal estimation, control, sensor fusion, computer vision and machine learning to real-world robotics, medical devices, and walking humanoids. His earlier work at SAIT and Samsung’s Mechatronics center produced practical innovations such as robust free-fall detection for HDDs and magnetic-compass–based indoor localization, with patents that informed product solutions. He combines theoretical rigor with hands-on platform development—from Mahru humanoids to surgical-robot research—bridging lab research and deployable systems. Known for turning advanced mathematical optimization into robust, embedded implementations, he focuses today on scaling perception and planning for autonomous systems in factory environments. Based in Gyeonggi, South Korea, he blends long-term research vision with pragmatic product-minded engineering.
