About
Gun Kyu Yee is a researcher in robotic manipulation and tactile sensing, with a focus on enabling robots to interact with and understand their physical environment through touch. His work centers on two key areas: active exploration of unknown objects and the mechanics of multifingered robot hands. In his 2015 paper "Exploration and reconstruction of unknown object by active touch of robot hand," Yee developed methods for robots to autonomously probe and build 3D models of unfamiliar objects using tactile feedback, a foundational step toward dexterous, adaptive manipulation. His complementary study, "Computation of minimum contact forces of multifingered robot hand with soft fingertips," addressed the critical challenge of stable grasping by calculating optimal force distributions for soft-tipped fingers, improving grip reliability and safety. Though each paper has garnered 5 citations, their impact lies in laying groundwork for more intuitive, human-like robotic touch. Yee’s contributions are particularly relevant for applications in prosthetics, industrial automation, and assistive robotics, where safe and adaptive handling of unknown objects is essential. His work continues to inspire advances in tactile-driven robotic exploration and grasp optimization.
