About
Hyunwook Lee is a researcher at the forefront of human-robot interaction and assistive robotics, with a primary focus on developing novel robotic systems for balance assessment and training. His most significant contribution is the conceptualization and development of the Virtual Ground Robot (VGR), a 3-degree-of-freedom parallel mechanism driven by Series Elastic Actuators (SEAs). This innovative device creates a virtual ground that can move in pitch, roll, and height, enabling a wide range of impedance for safe and effective human balance training. Lee’s work on force control and switching position-torque control for SEAs has been instrumental in achieving robust, safe, and precise interaction between robots and humans. His most cited paper (60 citations) explores the synthesis of metal-organic frameworks for triboelectric nanogenerators, showcasing a versatile interest in self-powered systems. With a growing body of work that bridges mechanical design, control theory, and rehabilitation engineering, Lee is establishing himself as a key innovator in creating compliant, interactive robotic platforms for healthcare applications.
