About

Bong-ju Lee is a pioneering researcher in the field of intelligent robotics, with a focused expertise in human-robot interaction and assistive healthcare technologies. His most notable contribution is the conceptual design and kinematic analysis of a percussive massage robot for senior health care, developed at the Intelligent Control and Robotics Laboratory. This work, published in 2007 and cited 25 times, introduced a 4-degree-of-freedom robot manipulator capable of tapping human backs, addressing the growing need for automated therapeutic solutions for aging populations. Lee’s research integrates forward and inverse kinematic analysis with Jacobian derivation, laying the groundwork for safe and effective robotic massage systems. His contributions are particularly impactful in the emerging field of geriatric robotics, where his designs offer a non-invasive, mechanical alternative to manual therapy. By combining rigorous mathematical modeling with practical healthcare applications, Lee has established himself as a key figure in assistive robotics, inspiring further innovations in patient-centered robotic care.
