Sang Min Kim

Sang Min Kim is a Ph.D. student in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Seoul National University, advised by Prof. Young Min Kim, and a visiting student at the MIT Biomimetic Robotics Lab hosted by Prof. Sangbae Kim. His research focuses on generalizable robotic manipulation, integrating 3D computer vision and control to enable robots to interact with novel objects and environments. He is known for work including Point2Act, which distills multimodal large language models into 3D representations for zero-shot context-aware grasping, and a framework for real-time force regulation over dynamically changing whole-hand contacts without tactile sensing.
