Hello, I'm Juhan Park

I am a Ph.D student at Korea Unversity, where I work with Sungjoon Choi on artificial inteligence and robotics. Previously, I received my M.S. from the Department of Artificial Intelligence at Chung-Ang University, advised by Kyungjae Lee.

My focus is on robot learning for autonomous systems, with a recent emphasis on dexterous hand manipulation. I aspire to integrate this robotic intelligence into the agricultural sector to enable sophisticated automation.

Retrieve, Don't Retrain: Extending Vision-Language-Action Models to New Tasks at Test Time

Preprint, 2026

ReCAP is a retrieval-augmented policy that adapts vision-language-action models to new tasks at deployment without retraining: the frozen policy conditions on retrieved trajectories at every control step, so new tasks are absorbed by indexing data rather than updating parameters.

Hierarchical Vision Language Action Model Using Success and Failure Demonstrations

Hierarchical Vision Language Action Model Using Success and Failure Demonstrations

CoRL 2025 2nd Workshop on Safe and Robust Robot Learning for Operation in the Real World

We propose VINE, a dual-system framework that injects failure-aware reasoning into VLAs. System 1 executes grounded action chunks, while System 2 builds a tree of thought states and scores candidate subgoals using both success and failure data.
