About

Jongbae Lee is a robotics researcher whose work bridges critical gaps between sensing, actuation, and real-world deployment. His primary research areas include fire detection robotics, motor control systems, and autonomous navigation in complex environments. Lee’s most notable contribution is his pioneering work on a novel fire detection device for robotic firefighting, which addresses the challenge of rapidly scanning large, cluttered urban spaces like office buildings and supermarkets. By integrating thermal imaging cameras into mobile rescue robots, he enabled faster and more reliable fire source identification—a contribution that has earned 16 citations and influenced subsequent search-and-rescue robotics. In parallel, Lee advanced the development and control of small brushless DC (BLDC) motors for entertainment robots, achieving precise motion control in compact form factors. This work, cited 9 times, laid foundational techniques for low-cost, high-performance actuators used in consumer and service robots. Lee’s research demonstrates a consistent focus on practical, deployable solutions that enhance robot autonomy and safety in human environments. His dual expertise in sensing and actuation makes his work valuable for students and engineers developing robots for emergency response and interactive applications.
