About

Hoi-Yin Lee is a leading researcher at the frontier of human-robot collaboration and deformable object manipulation, whose work is shaping the future of intelligent, autonomous manufacturing. Lee’s primary contributions lie in developing reactive control systems that allow robots to safely and effectively handle complex, non-rigid materials—such as cables, fabric, and bags—in dynamic environments alongside human partners. Their highly cited 2024 paper on a "topological latent control model" for reactive manipulation of deformable linear objects (39 citations) introduces a novel framework that enables robots to adapt in real-time to unpredictable changes, a critical capability for Industry 5.0. Lee has also pioneered strategies for bimanual robotic systems, including a structure-of-interest neural dynamics model for bag manipulation and stable parameterization-based contact servoing for robust grasping. Beyond manipulation, their work extends to multi-robot task allocation and self-reconfigurable soft-rigid agents, demonstrating a versatile approach to robotic autonomy. With recent publications in 2024 and 2025, Lee’s research is rapidly gaining traction, offering practical solutions for quality control, collaborative manufacturing, and resilient production systems.
