Department of Computer Science — KAIST

Autonomous Systems Lab

We build robots that work alongside people in unstructured environments. Our research spans perception, planning, and human-robot interaction, with a focus on systems that can explain their decisions. Founded by Prof. Jae-Won Kim in 2018. Currently 4 postdocs, 12 PhD students, and 6 master's students. We publish at ICRA, RSS, CoRL, and HRI.
