About Me
Hi, I’m Sunwoo Kim — a researcher at the Graphics AI Lab at NC Research, where I explore how robots can move more like companions than machines.
I believe that one day, robots won’t just be tools — they’ll be general-purpose allies: helpers, collaborators, even friends. But to truly integrate into our lives, they need to move with clarity, intention, and a touch of humanity. That’s why my research sits at the intersection of robotics and computer animation, where I design motion that feels intuitive and expressive — not just mechanically correct.
My academic path began at POSTECH, and I later received my master’s from Seoul National University under the guidance of Professor Jehee Lee. I’ve also had the chance to collaborate with Professor Sehoon Ha on projects related to adaptive robot behavior.
I’m passionate about shaping robotic motion that communicates — gestures that imply intent, movements that feel alive. To do that, I often borrow from the language of animation and apply it to the physical world. That fusion of graphics and robotics continues to drive my work today.
