About
Eun-Sang Lee is a researcher specializing in haptic technology, tactile sensing systems, and the application of smart materials — particularly magnetorheological (MR) materials — in advanced robotic and medical systems. Lee's work sits at an innovative intersection of materials science and surgical robotics, focusing on developing next-generation tactile feedback devices that bridge the sensory gap between surgeons and robotic surgical systems. Lee's most notable contribution is the development of a cylindrical grip tactile device integrated with surgical robot consoles, which leverages the tunable yield stress properties of magnetic-responsive materials to replicate the stiffness of human organs during robotic surgery. This work, published in 2022, has garnered 16 citations and represents a meaningful advance in making robotic surgery more intuitive and safer for both surgeons and patients. Building on this foundation, Lee has also pioneered novel tactile sensing systems using spherical MR structures capable of dynamic contraction and relaxation motions — an underexplored direction in a field that has traditionally emphasized actuation over sensing. With a growing body of work that challenges conventional approaches to MR material applications, Lee is establishing a distinctive research identity at the forefront of smart haptic systems and minimally invasive surgical technology.
