Jun-Gill Kang

I'm a researcher at Defense AI Center of the Agency for Defense Development (ADD) in South Korea. I completed my undegraduated studies in POSTECH, South Korea advised by Prof. Soohee Han. I also worked with Prof. Hae-Won Park as visiting researcher in KAIST DRCD Lab.

I've selected as graduate representative and gave Commencement Speeches in POSTECH at 2022. Also my research youtube channel has >13K subscriber with >8M views total.

I have built and controlled a wall-climbing robot, a flying-squirrel-inspired drone, a quadrupedal robot, an off-road self-driving car, and an autonomous tunnel exploration robot.

I am currently seeking a PhD opportunity for Fall 2026 to further pursue research in Robotics and AI. If you believe my background and interests align with your program or lab, I would be glad to connect.

Research

I'm interested in robotics, control, reinforcement learning, and deep learning. Most of my research start from building robot, fixing it and controlling it. Representative papers are highlighted. (Equal contributions are denoted by *)

Develop general trajectory tracking controller of flying squirrel with learned wing dynamics.

Control of full sized quadruped robot with vision pipeline.

Build and control non-linear dynamics governed flying squirrel inspired quadrotor using reinforcement learning.

Developed dual-unit wall climbing robot that can attach to fixed wall and traverse obstacle using both body.
