Kim Soo Young

Hi, I'm Sooyoung Kim. And I'm robotics enthusiast

• 🔭 I’m currently working on: Developing advanced robotic systems and software at the intersection of real-time control, perception, and AI. My recent work includes high-precision AMR software, imitation learning for manipulators, and radar-based sensing systems for robots.
• 🌱 I’m currently learning: Deep reinforcement learning, advanced robotics algorithms, and systems integration using ROS 2, with a strong focus on real-time applications and embedded AI.
• 👯 I’m looking to collaborate on: Robotics projects involving manipulation, autonomous navigation, or sensor fusion—especially ones that push the boundaries of real-world deployment.
• 🤔 I’m looking for help with: Building robust simulation-to-reality pipelines and optimizing ML models for edge deployment in robotics.
• 💬 Ask me about: NVIDIA Isaac Sim, ROS/ROS 2, autonomous mobile robots, robotic manipulation, mmWave radar integration, or anything related to C++/Python-based robotic software systems.
• 📫 How to reach me: sooyouk5@uci.edu
• 😄 Pronouns: He/Him
• ⚡ Fun fact: I’ve built autonomous robots that can ride elevators and manipulate complex objects—and once helped raise a $14.8M investment for a micromobility startup.
