  • Comment: Possibly notable, but the referencing requires more work. Eg., what source gives this person's DOB, or their educational background?
    Also, you need to ensure that when citing a source, that source actually supports the information against which it is cited. At least sources 4, 5 and 7 (possibly others) merely point to website home pages, which do not appear to verify anything in this draft. DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:39, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

Chul-Goo Kang (born January 15, 1959) is a South Korean academic specializing in mechanical engineering and control systems.

Education and career

[edit]

Kang was born in Gumi, North Gyeongsang, South Korea. He obtained B.S. and M.S. in mechanical engineering from Seoul National University in 1981 and 1985, respectively. He served in the Korean Army from 1981 to 1983. After marrying in 1985, he pursued doctoral studies in control and robotics at the University of California, Berkeley, USA, supported by Korean government scholarship. He received his Ph.D. in 1989.

Kang returned to Korea and joined the engineering faculty at Konkuk University, Seoul as an assistant professor in 1990, becoming an associate professor in 1994 and a full professor in 1999. He served as the General Chair of the International Conference on Ubiquitous Robots and Ambient Intelligence in 2011,[1] and the Organizing Chair of the International Conference on Control, Automation and Systems in 2012.[2] He was the president of the Korea Robotics Society (2015)[3] and the editor-in-chief of Journal of the Korean Society for Urban Railway (2015).[4] From 2018 to 2021, he was a steering committee member of the Asian Control Association.[5]

In 2024, Kang retired from Konkuk University as an emeritus professor.[6] Following his retirement, Kang became a research fellow at Park Systems Corp,[7] a Korean company specializing in the production of atomic force microscopes.

Research contributions

[edit]

Chul-Goo Kang made significant contributions to input shaping control by introducing the concept of an impulse vector, a mathematical tool for designing and analyzing input shapers to suppress residual vibrations. The impulse vector provides a unified framework for designing input shapers for both undamped and underdamped systems, accommodating both positive and negative impulses. In addition to his work on input shaping, Kang developed an intelligent arm-wrestling robot called Robo-Armwrestler,[8] along with various mechatronic systems, such as a brake Hardware-In-the-Loop Simulation (HILS) system and a user-friendly economical six-axis force/torque sensor.[9]

Honors and awards

[edit]

Kang is a member of the National Academy of Engineering of Korea.[10] He has received numerous awards, including the Presidential Commendation of Korea (2017),[11] the Education Award (2019)[12] from the Korean Society of Mechanical Engineers (KSME),[13] and the Best Teacher Award (2024)[14] from Konkuk University. Other notable awards include the Korean Best 10 Railway Technology Award (2016),[15] the Academic Excellence Award (2016)[16] from the Institute of Control, Robotics and Systems (ICROS),[17] and the Fumio Harashima Mechatronics Award (2011)[18] from ICROS.
