About

Dr. Kye Young Lee is a pioneering researcher in construction robotics, specializing in human-robot cooperation and automated material handling for large-scale building projects. His work addresses the critical challenge of installing heavy construction materials—such as curtain walls—in increasingly tall and complex structures, where traditional machinery falls short. Lee’s major contributions include developing cooperative control systems that enable safe, efficient human-robot collaboration on construction sites, as well as designing multidegree-of-freedom manipulators tailored for precise curtain-wall installation. His most-cited papers, including “Human-robot cooperation control for installing heavy construction materials” (52 citations) and “Development of the curtain wall installation robot” (51 citations), demonstrate the practical impact of his innovations through performance and efficiency tests at real construction sites. These studies have laid the groundwork for automating high-risk, labor-intensive tasks, significantly improving safety and productivity in the construction industry. Lee’s work is notable for bridging the gap between robotic theory and on-site application, offering scalable solutions for modern architectural demands. His research continues to influence the next generation of construction automation, making him a key figure in advancing smart building technologies.
