About
Jeongsu Lee’s research bridges bio-inspired robotics and rehabilitation engineering, with a focus on optimizing locomotion and restoring upper-limb function. His most influential work, “Kinematic Condition for Maximizing the Thrust of a Robotic Fish Using a Compliant Caudal Fin” (106 citations), introduces a simple yet powerful method to determine the optimal fin compliance for thrust generation, directly advancing the design of efficient underwater vehicles that mimic fish undulation. Complementing this, his study on compliant joints and fins (12 citations) deepens the understanding of how flexibility influences propulsion. In rehabilitation robotics, Lee’s 2014 paper on kinematic analysis of hemiplegic drinking motions (85 citations) provides critical insights into upper-extremity movement deficits after stroke, informing the development of practical assistive robots. His preliminary work on arm motion in daily tasks (16 citations) further establishes a foundation for patient-centered robot design. Through user-driven development—including focus groups and clinical feedback (6 citations each)—Lee ensures that assistive technologies like smart walkers and upper-limb robots are both clinically relevant and functionally effective. His research uniquely combines rigorous biomechanical analysis with translational impact, making him a key figure in both aquatic robotics and neurorehabilitation.
