About
Bo Hee Lee is an interdisciplinary researcher whose work sits at the intersection of social welfare, robotics, and therapeutic design, with a particular focus on improving outcomes for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Lee's most notable contributions center on the innovative application of socially assistive robotics as a therapeutic intervention, pioneering the use of an eco-friendly cat robot designed specifically to enhance social interactions in children with ASD. Lee's 2015 study on the therapeutic effects of the cat robot remains the most impactful work in this portfolio, accumulating 7 citations and demonstrating measurable benefits in ASD treatment contexts. Building on foundational design work published in 2014, which established the expressive and behavioral framework for the robot through careful requirements analysis, Lee helped lay the groundwork for a new approach to early intervention therapy. What makes Lee's research particularly compelling is its collaborative, cross-disciplinary nature, bringing together expertise from social welfare, electrical engineering, and design to create solutions that are both technically sound and human-centered. This fusion approach reflects a commitment to translating engineering innovation into meaningful real-world therapeutic applications for vulnerable populations.
