About

Choon-Young Lee is a robotics researcher whose work centers on rehabilitation robotics, mobile robot navigation, and intelligent control systems. His career has been defined by a sustained commitment to developing assistive technologies that restore mobility and function to individuals with physical impairments. Among his most influential contributions are pioneering walking-support and gait rehabilitation robot systems, including a mobile manipulator-based platform capable of adjusting to individual users while providing body weight support during therapy — work that has garnered over 20 citations apiece and laid important groundwork in the field. Lee has also made meaningful advances in robot manipulator control, proposing a multiple neuro-adaptive controller that leverages visual information to improve performance under uncertainty, and developing robust fault-tolerant frameworks capable of detecting and accommodating actuator failures in real time. His navigation research further demonstrates breadth, with notable contributions to RRT-based local path planning and multi-sensor ultrasonic collision avoidance for mobile robots. Later work expanded into upper limb exoskeleton kinematics and bicycle-riding rehabilitation platforms, reflecting a career-long drive to translate engineering innovation into practical therapeutic solutions for patients with motor impairments.
