Howoong Jun

I'm a Ph.D candidate at Robot Learning Lab (RLLab) of Seoul National University, supervised by Professor Songhwai Oh.

Before the Ph.D course, I received B.S. degree and M.S. degree from Electrical and Computer Engineering, Seoul National University, 2017 and 2019 respectively. During my master's course, I was adviced by Professor Beomhee Lee. Previously, I was a research engineer/manager at SK Telecom in 2019-2022.

TL;DR 📝

Research 🔬

I'm interested in spatial intelligence for robotics. Most of my research is about improving robot intelligence through spatial information. Some papers are highlighted.

Introduce a new method for street-level localization that first utilizes 3D Gaussian splatting in street-level localization problem

Propose a robust visual localization and navigation framework in real-world environments, utilizing a mapping that directly integrates observed visual information into the bird-eye-view map

Propose a new network framework for keypoint detection using neuromorphic camera data

Propose history-dependent manipulation, which aims to enable a robot to refer to its task history when executing a series of pick-and-place operations instructed by language instructions

Propose a reinforcement learning based multi-robot collision avoidance approach by learning collision
