About
Habeom Lee is a materials scientist and robotics engineer whose research sits at the dynamic intersection of soft robotics, wearable electronics, and smart actuator materials. His work has made significant contributions to the development of flexible sensors, biomimetic soft actuators, and stimuli-responsive materials that push the boundaries of what robots and wearable devices can perceive and perform. Lee's most celebrated contribution is his 2019 work on a highly sensitive wearable temperature sensor featuring seamless monolithic integration, which achieved the highest temperature sensing ability reported at the time and has since garnered over 444 citations. His pioneering research on biomimetic, color-changing anisotropic soft actuators — incorporating transparent metal nanowire percolation networks — demonstrated how soft robots could mimic biological camouflage, earning nearly 300 citations. Extending this vision, his work on transparent actuators and camouflage skins for imperceptible soft robotics (242 citations) has opened new frontiers in visually unobtrusive robotic systems. More recently, Lee has explored light-powered azobenzene-functionalized liquid crystal elastomers and carbon nanotube fiber actuators, advancing untethered, autonomous soft robotic systems. With over 1,300 cumulative citations, his research has meaningfully shaped the future of intelligent, adaptive materials for robotics and human-machine interfaces.
