About

Kyeyoung Lee is a pioneering researcher in construction robotics, with a focused expertise in automating high-risk building tasks. Her most cited work, "Design of a Ceiling Glass Installation Robot" (2007, 23 citations), addresses a critical challenge in the construction industry: the safe and efficient handling of large, heavy glass panels for ceiling installations. This paper, presented at the 24th ISARC, details the mechanical design and control system of a specialized robot that replaces manual labor in this dangerous operation, significantly reducing workplace injuries and improving precision. Lee’s contribution lies in bridging the gap between industrial robotics and construction site constraints, offering a practical solution for automating material handling of oversized components. Her research has laid foundational groundwork for subsequent studies in construction automation, as evidenced by its continued citation in the field. By tackling a specific, high-impact problem, Lee demonstrates how targeted robotic interventions can transform traditional building practices, making her work essential reading for researchers exploring human-robot collaboration in construction environments.
