About

Jinkyu Lee is a researcher whose work spans the critical intersection of automation, real-time systems, and autonomous robotics. His early contributions established foundational methods in manufacturing control, notably through his work on automata-based supervisory control logic for multi-robot assembly cells—a paper that has garnered 21 citations and remains relevant for designing deadlock-free, sequence-compliant automated systems. More recently, Lee has addressed pressing challenges in power management for electric systems, including electric vehicles and drones. His 2020 paper on power guarantees using real-time scheduling (5 citations) proposes advanced scheduling frameworks that jointly manage power demand and operational constraints, a vital contribution as battery-dependent systems become ubiquitous. Lee’s latest research pushes into autonomous navigation, specifically tackling the difficult problem of full coverage path planning for unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) while avoiding negative obstacles like ditches or holes. His 2023 simulation-based study (2 citations) explores novel approaches for safe, complete terrain coverage. This trajectory—from factory automation to power-aware scheduling to autonomous ground robotics—demonstrates a career focused on making complex, safety-critical systems more reliable, efficient, and autonomous.
