About

Dr. Hyoung-Ki Lee is a leading figure in mobile robotics, with a career dedicated to solving the fundamental challenges of robot perception, localization, and control. His research focuses on enabling robots to navigate unknown and dynamic environments with high precision and reliability. Lee’s most impactful work, an adaptive controller for master-slave teleoperation (76 citations), established a framework for stable and transparent remote control, a cornerstone for modern telerobotics. He has made seminal contributions to localization, pioneering the use of constrained Kalman filters and fuzzy-logic-assisted multiple models to fuse gyroscope and odometry data, dramatically improving dead reckoning accuracy on irregular terrain. His work on electronic compassing for indoor robots (45 citations) and monocular SLAM with undelayed initialization further advanced autonomous navigation. With over 200 total citations, Lee’s research has been instrumental in the development of practical home service robots, including the SHR100, where he applied formal verification to ensure safe and reliable operation. His hierarchical path planning for cleaning robots and slip detection methods continue to influence the design of robust, real-world robotic systems.
