About

Jungpyo Lee is a robotics researcher whose work bridges industrial automation and assistive technology, with a focus on intelligent grasping and manipulation. His key research areas include haptic perception, robotic grasping, and human-robot interaction, particularly for challenging real-world scenarios. Lee’s major contributions center on the development of the “Smart Suction Cup,” a novel end-effector that integrates haptic sensing to improve grasping success on adversarial objects where vision-based planners fail. His 2023 paper on this topic, “Haptic Search With the Smart Suction Cup on Adversarial Objects,” has garnered 19 citations, demonstrating its impact on the field. In 2024, he extended this work to address the sustainability challenge of sorting waste printed circuit boards (PCBs) from e-waste, showing how his gripper can reliably handle these difficult-to-grasp materials. Notably, Lee also applies his manipulation expertise to assistive robotics, as seen in his 2024 paper on expanding functional workspace for individuals with C5-C7 spinal cord injury through supernumerary dorsal grasping. This work highlights his commitment to developing technologies that enhance independence and quality of life for people with disabilities.
