About

Chong-Won Lee is a pioneering roboticist whose work has fundamentally shaped the development of teleoperation systems and service robotics. His primary research areas span humanoid robot control, force-reflecting master devices, and autonomous navigation for service robots in large-scale indoor environments. Lee's most significant contributions include the development of the KIST teleoperation system for humanoid robots, which introduced an isomorphic master arm design that dramatically improved operator intuition and control precision. His work on the Tripodal schematic control architecture for the Public Service Robot (PSR) established a formal, Petri net-based framework for task description and error handling, enabling multi-functional service robots to operate reliably in public spaces. Lee also made notable advances in haptic feedback, designing exoskeleton-type master arms with torque sensor beams and pneumatic actuator-based force reflection systems that enhanced teleoperation fidelity. His research on passive multiple trailer systems and integrated navigation strategies for indoor service robots addressed critical challenges in trajectory tracking and localization. With over 200 citations across his most influential papers, Lee's work at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology has left a lasting impact on the fields of teleoperation, service robotics, and human-robot interaction.
