About
Yura Lee is a researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction and gerontechnology, with a primary focus on developing robotic systems to enhance physical activity and well-being among older adults. Her most notable contribution is the pioneering work "An Exploration of Robot-Mediated Tai Chi Exercise for Older Adults" (2023), which addresses the critical shortage of exercise trainers in aging societies. In this study, Lee designed and implemented a robot tutor capable of guiding older adults through Tai Chi movements, demonstrating the feasibility of using social robots as exercise instructors. The experimental study with twenty participants provided foundational evidence that robot-mediated exercise can be a viable solution for maintaining physical activity levels in older populations. While her citation count is still growing, Lee's work represents an important step toward scalable, technology-assisted health interventions for the elderly. Her research uniquely combines robotics, human factors, and gerontology, offering practical solutions to the challenges posed by global population aging. Lee's contributions are particularly valuable for researchers exploring assistive robotics and non-pharmacological interventions for healthy aging.
