About

Kang Ryeol Lee is a researcher specializing in MEMS-based sensor technologies, with a particular focus on flexible tactile sensing systems for robotic applications. His work sits at the intersection of silicon microfabrication, piezoresistive sensing, and human-robot interaction, addressing the growing demand for sophisticated tactile feedback in intelligent robotic systems. Lee's most notable contribution is his development of a silicon-based flexible tactile sensor capable of detecting forces across three axes — both normal and shear modes — a significant advancement over single-axis sensing approaches. Published in 2006, this work, which has accumulated 47 citations, demonstrated an innovative fabrication process combining Si micromachining with advanced packaging technologies, making it particularly suitable for ubiquitous robot companion applications where conformable, multi-directional sensing is essential. Complementing this, his research on CMOS-integrated tactile sensor arrays further demonstrated his expertise in merging bulk micromachining with standard semiconductor fabrication processes, enabling scalable and fully integrated sensing structures suited for real-world robotics deployment. Together, these contributions reflect Lee's commitment to bridging fundamental microfabrication research with practical robotic sensing solutions, establishing him as a meaningful contributor to the field of intelligent sensor development during a formative period in service robotics.
