Can a Robot Behave Like Me?: Jaeheung Park at TEDxSNUSuwon

We are still far away from the robots of the movies becoming reality, but Jaeheung Park is on a mission to make it happen. By researching both biomechanics and robotics, Jaeheung Park shows how we can make robots act more like us. Using algorithms that understand all aspects of the robot's body, Jaeheung shows us how understanding the reasons why we move the way we do can quickly push robotics further ahead. Having a lab of researchers ranging from engineers to artists has brought out amazing work that will inspire all of us to keep dreaming of the day we will have robots helping us in everyday tasks. Whether it is controlling robot hands in realtime or studying people walking in high-heels, Jaeheung Park brings us one step closer.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
