Welcome to my website. My name is
Byung-Cheol Min, and I go by "B.C.". I am an Associate Professor
and University Faculty Scholar in the Department of Computer and
Information Technology and a Director of the SMART Lab (www.smart-laboratory.org) at Purdue
University, West Lafayette. I am also an affiliated faculty
member with the Purdue Robotics Accelerator (PRA), the center for Innovation in
Control, Optimization, and Networks (ICON), and the Center for the Environment
(C4E)
at Purdue. I received a B.S. degree in Electronics Engineering
and a M.S. in Electronics and Radio Engineering with a
specialization in Automatic Control from Kyung Hee University in
2008 and 2010, a Ph.D. degree in Technology from Purdue
University in 2014, and held a postdoctoral fellow position at
the Robotics Institute of Carnegie Mellon University from 2014
to 2015.
I am a roboticist (in other words, a
robotics technologist). I conduct basic and applied research in
robotics and seek to combine practical and theoretical
approaches to solve real-world problems in robotics. My research
interests include multi-robot systems, human-robot interaction,
and robot design and control, with applications in field
robotics and assistive technology and robotics. The goal of my
current research is to: 1) design algorithms and systems to
enable multiple robots to collaborate with each other in a
distributed way and to flexibly interact with any humans, in any
situation, anywhere, 2) develop applications that can leverage
the advantages of human multi-robot systems, and 3) develop
low-cost and open-source robot platforms to enable their easy
building and use by the public and researchers.
I am a recipient of the NSF CAREER Award in 2019, the Purdue PPI Outstanding Faculty Award in
Discovery in 2019, the Purdue CIT Outstanding Graduate Mentor Award
in 2019, the Purdue CIT Outstanding Faculty Award in Discovery
in 2019 and 2021, the Purdue Focus Award in 2020, the Purdue PPI Interdisciplinary Research
Collaboration Award in 2021, and the Purdue Corps of Engagement Award in 2022.
I
was named a Purdue University Faculty Scholar in
2021. I also led the Purdue-Hongik Team that placed as a
finalist in the NASA Space Robotics Challenge Phase 2.
My research has been supported by NSF, NIFA, NIJ, UNSA, and
Purdue University. I have published over 20 peer-reviewed
journal papers and over 50 peer-reviewed conference papers. I
have served as an associate editor of the IEEE International
Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) and a co-organizer
of the NSF workshop to Explore US/Korean Collaboration in
Human-Friendly Co-Robotic Technologies. You can reach me at: Knoy Hall #245 401 N. Grant Street West Lafayette, IN 47907 Tel: +1 (765) 494-6490 Email: minb at purdue dot edu
