About

Dong Ha Lee is a leading researcher in multi-robot systems, formation control, and intelligent automation. His most influential work, "A switched-system approach to formation control and heading consensus for multi-robot systems" (25 citations), provides a foundational framework for coordinating multiple robots to achieve stable, synchronized movement—critical for applications in search-and-rescue, surveillance, and industrial automation. Lee has also made significant contributions to object transportation using symmetric caging formations, where robots cooperatively enclose and move objects without grasping, minimizing the number of robots needed while reducing object rotation. His research extends to mobile robot localization under anchor-less outdoor environments using trilateration, enabling robust positioning without fixed infrastructure. Additionally, Lee has explored stable path planning algorithms that account for dynamic obstacles, improving real-world applicability over traditional shortest-path methods. His work on technology convergence and intelligent robot adoption in medium-sized manufacturing firms bridges engineering and business, analyzing how perceived benefits, innovation, and industry pressure drive process innovation. With a career spanning wireless sensor networks, RFID-based tracking, and multi-robot coordination, Lee’s research continues to shape the future of autonomous, cooperative robotic systems.
