About
Jeong-Won Lee is a researcher pushing the boundaries of robotic manipulation and underwater exploration. His work centers on two key areas: adaptive robotic grasping and autonomous underwater vehicles. In his highly innovative 2020 paper on a stiffness-controlled robotic palm, Lee introduced a novel application of granular jamming to create a hand that can dynamically transition between a fluid and solid state. This allows the palm to conform to objects and then lock its shape, dramatically improving grasping dexterity and force control—a significant contribution to soft robotics. More recently, Lee has tackled the challenge of mine hunting in hazardous underwater environments. His 2024 conceptual design for an autonomous hexapod walking robot offers a groundbreaking alternative to traditional floating vehicles, which struggle in strong currents and turbid waters. By proposing a legged, seabed-walking platform, Lee addresses a critical gap in underwater robotics, aiming for stable, precise operation where conventional systems fail. With his work accumulating citations and laying the groundwork for more robust, adaptive robotic systems, Lee is establishing himself as a forward-thinking engineer solving real-world mobility and manipulation problems.
