DONGHO KANG
Robotics student at ETH Zurich.

Stampfenbachstrasse 48
8092 Zurich
Switzerland
I am a doctoral student in computer science based in Zurich, Switzerland. From 2019, I am a member of Computational Robotics Lab, ETH Zurich, led by Prof. Stelian Coros.
My research aims to generate natural, animal-like legged robot motion. Thus, my research interests are broad ranging to legged locomotion control, computational model of character animation and finally design optimization for robotics applications.
Other than my professional bio, I am from Seoul, South Korea 🇰🇷 and currently live in Zurich, Switzerland 🇨ðŸ‡. As I describe myself, I am an open source enthusiast, a video game fan, and a classical music lover. In my free time, I hike beautiful mountains in Switzerland, play video games, go to orchestral concerts and watch Ghibli and Disney movies (specifically, I am a big fan of Star Wars series). :D
I am currently looking for self-motivated Master students (from ETH or students from any other institutes who can visit ETH Zurich by an available exchanging program) who are passionate to join our journey to build a bio-inspired legged robot. If you are intested in participating in one of our 3-month (14-weeks, part-time) or 6-month (full-time) research projects at Computational Robotics Lab. Please see more details here if you are interested.
