Hello, my name is Bruce Kim.

I am an AI softwawre engineer at Samsung Semiconductor Inc., and my works include accelerating SOTA ML models on Samsung's SoC (NPU, GPU, CPU, DSP).

I graduated with Master's of Science in Robotic Systems Development from Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University in 2023.

In 2023, I contributed to SHARK-Turbine in terms of front-end AI compiler at Nod AI (acquired by AMD).

In 2022, I contributed to ESTAT ACTUATION by designing a prototype of an exoskeleton ankle sprain prevent system.

Before 2021, I was an electric vehicle project manager at LG Energy Solution. My main projects include launching batteries for Volvo's XC40 Recharge and Polestar 2.

My AI/robotics projects include the followings:

1. Vertical Farming Automation - Using a mobile manipulator to pollinate and harvest tomatoes
   I was responsible for implementing manipulation and project management in the Spring 22.
   I was responsible for perception - detecting tomato clusters using YOLO V5 and TensorRT for real-time inference in the Fall 22.
   
2. Advanced Dynamics and Simulation Simulating advanced dynamics in robotics such as satellite in a orbit, attitude dynamics, a glider, hanging cable (catenary) problem ...etc)
3. Planning - A region-guided, sampling-based motion planner with dynamics and PID controller for non-holonomic robots on complex environments
4. Deep learning - Reimplementation of CLIPPort (Vision-Language Manipulation) from scratch by using PyTorch / Other works: Attention-based Speech Recognition, face recognition & verification
5. Lego Kitting - using Franka Arm to autonomously conduct lego kitting
   I was responsible for implementing manipulation with Alex Pletta.
   
6. Kinematics, Dynamics, and Controls
   Course projects on implementing various aspects of manipulation.
   A research project in modeling a tree in a mass-spring-damper system to observe its behavior against an external force such as wind.
   
7. Computer Vision
   Course projects on implementing computer vision algorithms and applications.
