About
Jong-Deuk Lee is a pioneering robotics researcher whose work spans smart service robots, extreme-environment exploration, and multi-modal sensor systems. He is best known for developing the world’s first commercialized window cleaning robot, Windoro, and its advanced follow-up model, Smart Windoro V1.0 (2012, 14 citations), which uses permanent magnets for autonomous glass-surface adhesion and cleaning. Lee’s recent contributions focus on polar exploration robotics, including a UWB-based human-following system with obstacle and crevasse avoidance (2024, 5 citations) and the Antarctic exploration robot KAREX, whose initial operational results (2024, 2 citations) derive critical system requirements for harsh driving conditions. His work on floor-to-floor navigation (2013, 4 citations) enables mobile robots to traverse multi-level environments using topological graphs. Lee has also advanced outdoor security robots through multi-modal sensor calibration (2018, 4 citations) and human detection databases (2018, 3 citations), and developed a multi-modal sensor module (2020, 2 citations) for robust outdoor operation in varied weather and lighting. His research integrates practical commercial impact with cutting-edge autonomous navigation for extreme environments, demonstrating how robotic systems can adapt from household windows to the Antarctic continent.
