Robotics Mechanical Engineer and Researcher
About
Wooseok is a mechanical engineering expert in the robotics system, and
interested in the robot mechanisms that are related to power efficiency,
dynamics as well. The current activities in the company are related to a
robotic exoskeleton, a humanoid robot and an underwater manipulation.
He has more than 15 years experience in the mechanical engineering at
robotics field, that includes the humanoid robotics (the legs, the foot
mechanism and the robotic hands), modular manipulator and the underwater
robotics. He holds a PhD degree from Italy and a master degree from South
Korea, the robotics and mechanical engineering respectively, and is
passionate about building robot platform and leading teams, and delivering
the technology to the real products for the industries and our life.
Originally from South Korea, he studied in Italy and worked in Korea,
Italy, Tokyo (Japan) and the USA, and is now based in Salt Lake City.
