About
Jin-Jae Lee is a pioneering researcher in human-robot interaction, with a focus on socially-assistive robotics (SAR) for healthcare and cross-cultural technology adoption. His work centers on enabling robotic companion pets to autonomously adapt their behaviors to enhance therapeutic outcomes, particularly for chronic conditions like dementia and diabetes. Lee’s major contributions include developing data-driven approaches that allow robots to learn from in-home sensor data and adjust their interactions in real time, bridging the gap between clinical potential and real-world home environments. His most cited paper (11 citations) is a landmark cross-cultural case study comparing robotic pet use in South Korea and the United States, tracking 10 participants over weeks with second-by-second monitoring to reveal cultural nuances in human-robot bonding. Lee also introduced generative replay techniques for multi-class activity modeling, enabling robots to maintain personalized, context-aware support. With a growing citation impact and a focus on embedding autonomy into daily life, Lee’s work is shaping the future of empathetic, adaptive robotic companions that can transform chronic care management outside clinical settings.
