About
Chang Hee Lee is a visionary researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction (HRI), sensory design, and autonomous vehicle interfaces. Their work pushes the boundaries of how we communicate with machines, exploring unconventional sensory channels to create richer, more intuitive experiences. Lee’s major contributions include pioneering the concept of "Olfactory Puppetry," which integrates the sense of smell into social robotics—a largely untapped area in HRI. By investigating how robots might emit scents to influence human emotion and social bonding, this work (4 citations) opens new avenues for affective computing and has been recognized as a provocative, forward-thinking pictorial. Additionally, Lee developed MIRAbot, a reimagined rearview mirror designed as an intelligent driving assistant for SAE Level 3 semi-autonomous vehicles (2 citations). This innovation addresses the critical challenge of driver readiness during handoffs, blending practical safety with elegant design. With a growing citation impact and a portfolio that bridges speculative design and real-world application, Lee is establishing a reputation as a creative force in shaping the future of embodied interaction. Their work is essential reading for anyone interested in the next generation of sensory-rich, socially aware robots and vehicles.
