I am Donghyun Kim, an Assistant professor at UMass Amherst CICS and the leader of DARoS Lab. My primary research area is in the dynamic locomotion of legged systems with a focus on the development of control architectures and their experimental validation. My research purpose is to make robots be practical tools for human life by enhancing the robotic systems faster, smarter, and robust. (e-mail: donghyunkim@cs.umass.edu) [Curriculum Vitae]<\/a><\/p>
