Hokyun Im Profile Picture

Hokyun Im

I am majoring in Artificial Intelligence at Yonsei University, under the guidance of Professor Youngwoon Lee.

My interest is the intersection of robotics and AI. I want to study how to use AI to make robots more intelligent and interactive in the real world. Especially interested in decision making, reasoning, using foundational models.

I received my Bachelor's degree from the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Yonsei University.

Previously, I worked as a research intern at MLCS Lab under the Prof. Jongeun Choi, CLVR Lab under the Prof. Joseph J. Lim.

Projects

End-to-End visual indoor drone navigation with foundation model

Project Lead, Yonsei Drone (2024)

Previously, distance-sensing sensors such as depth cameras were necessary for drone navigation. With the advancement of foundation models, we successfully accomplished indoor navigation using only a front-facing RGB image by leveraging the CrossFormer model.

Autonomus drone for food delivery (KRAC 2023 2nd Place)

Yonsei Drone (2023)

Fully autonomous outdoor drone navigation using GPS to travel long distances, avoid obstacles, reach the destination to deliver items, and return safely.

I led the development of building approach algorithms, and worked on safe landing using Sim2Real RL.

YAI Project
VAE Visualizaton

A toy project that allows interactive, real-time manipulation of the latent representation of a VAE on a webpage. Implemented using TensorFlow.js.

YAI Project
HTML Games

HTML games developed in JavaScript during spare time in the military. Quite fun to play haha.

YAI Project
PID Pendulum

This is a simple pendulum simulator designed as an educational tool. It allows students to explore and understand the principles of PID control, including its implementation and parameter tuning.
