About

Chang Su Lee is a robotics researcher whose work spans autonomous navigation, multi-robot coordination, and modular robotic systems. A key contributor to the 2010 Multi Autonomous Ground-robotic International Challenge (MAGIC), Lee helped develop WAMbot, an autonomous unmanned ground vehicle that demonstrated advanced cooperative reconnaissance capabilities. Their research introduces a novel hierarchical architecture for real-time tactical motion planning and obstacle avoidance, enabling safe multi-robot operation in dynamic, hostile environments with incomplete information. Lee has also made contributions to modular self-reconfigurable robots, addressing the critical challenge of connectivity checking to safely reconfigure distributed systems without structural failure. Earlier work includes a rough-fuzzy controller for autonomous navigation, improving uncertainty reasoning through the integration of rough set and fuzzy set theories. Most recently, Lee has applied these principles to practical safety applications, designing an autonomous firefighting robot system for early fire suppression. With papers cited across robotics conferences and journals, Lee’s work bridges theoretical advances in motion planning and reconfiguration with real-world deployment in challenging, unstructured environments.
