Hochul Hwang
I am passionate about building robots that enhance mobility for people. Please refer to my CV for details.
I am a Ph.D. stduent in the Dynamic and Autonomous Robotics Systems Lab at the University of Massachusetts Amherst advised by Donghyun Kim. I am leading the development of a guide dog robot, with my research focusing on robot perception, planning, and human-robot interaction:
– Perception and planning for safe long-term autonomy. Developing robust navigation and trajectory following models by learning generalizable representations from real-world human demonstrations, enabling safe and efficient guidance for human users.
– Human-robot interaction for real-world deployment. Analyzing dynamic interactions between human-robot teams and factors such as trust and personalization to facilitate deployment beyond the development phase.
