About
Ho Ju Lee is a leading researcher in robotic manipulation, specializing in the design of high-performance, dexterous robotic hands and grippers. His work masterfully addresses the inherent trade-off between speed and force in robotic actuation. Lee’s most significant contribution is the invention of a dual-mode twisting mechanism for robot fingers, which allows a single motor to achieve both rapid motion and substantial grasping force. This innovation, detailed in his highly cited 2012 paper (90 citations), has proven foundational for applications requiring versatility, from industrial automation to explosive ordnance disposal, as demonstrated in his subsequent modular gripper design. Beyond actuation, Lee has advanced the field with contributions in miniature force sensing for robotic hands and the development of portable, high-payload serial manipulators using distributed actuation. His recent work on a generalized control framework for exoskeleton robots, leveraging interaction force feedback, signals a move toward intuitive human-robot collaboration. With a portfolio that consistently pushes the boundaries of mechanical design and control, Lee’s research is essential reading for engineers building the next generation of capable, safe, and efficient robotic systems.
