About

Daehee Lee is at the forefront of medical robotics, specializing in magnetic navigation systems and milli/microrobots for minimally invasive interventions. His major contributions center on developing novel, clinically translatable magnetic robots that overcome the limitations of current endovascular and targeted therapy technologies. In his highly cited 2023 work, Lee introduced the Separable and Recombinable Magnetic Robot (SRMR), a groundbreaking system that safely delivers and retrieves untethered magnetic robots to target vascular lesions, solving a critical safety and control challenge in robotic endovascular intervention. This paper has already garnered 30 citations, reflecting its immediate impact on the field. Building on this, his 2024 paper on a Robotically Adjustable Magnetic Navigation System addresses the commercialization gap for medical magnetic robots by proposing a more versatile and practical control architecture. Lee’s work is notable for bridging the gap between proof-of-concept microrobotics and real-world clinical application, focusing on safety, controllability, and system integration. His research is paving the way for the next generation of autonomous, remotely operated medical devices that could transform how we treat vascular diseases and deliver targeted therapies.
