A team from the Robot Control Laboratory at Kookmin University (Ph.D. students Han Yoon-ho and Park Min-ho, and their advisor Cho Baek-gyu) won the top prize, the Korea Robot Industry Promotion Agency Award, at the 2025 20th Korea Robot Conference (KRoC 2025) RED SHOW General Category, hosted by the Korean Society of Robot Studies.

RED SHOW is a representative academic conference in the field of robotics in Korea. It is an event for various university and corporate research teams to participate in, discover, share, and promote creative ideas by demonstrating robots and design works created to solve real-world problems in an engineering and design manner. This year's competition saw a total of 23 teams, including Lobros, Pohang University of Science and Technology, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), and Kookmin University, participate in the general division and compete fiercely.

The team from the Robot Control Laboratory at Kookmin University (PhD student Han Yun-ho, PhD student Park Min-ho, and advisor Cho Baek-Kyu) demonstrated a robot with the theme of “Humanoid Legs Based on a Triple Parallel Mechanism for Agile and Efficient Movement.”

The robot boasted excellent maneuverability and energy efficiency based on its unique design and excellent kinematic characteristics. In particular, it impressed the judges and spectators with its colorful movements that demonstrated the complex mechanism of the joints and its demonstration of kicking a ball using a powerful kick.

This award has once again proven the technological prowess and research capabilities of our university's robot control laboratory, and we look forward to continued progress in the field of robotics in the future. The laboratory will continue its research with the aim of developing innovative robot technology.
