About
Dr. Kyung-Won Lee is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics, emotion, and music, whose work has fundamentally shaped how robots communicate affectively with humans. His key research areas include human-robot interaction, affective computing, and musical emotion expression. Dr. Lee’s major contribution lies in establishing music as a viable medium for robot emotional expression, moving beyond traditional visual or verbal cues. In his seminal 2007 paper, “Composition of Musical Sound Expressing an Emotion of Robot Based on Musical Factors,” he systematically analyzed musical factors—such as tempo, pitch, and rhythm—to compose sounds that reliably convey specific emotions, laying the groundwork for more intuitive and emotionally resonant human-robot communication. This work, with 16 citations, has influenced subsequent studies in social robotics and affective sound design. Dr. Lee’s innovative approach bridges engineering and the arts, demonstrating that robots can express nuanced emotional states through carefully structured musical compositions. His research continues to inspire new generations of engineers and designers seeking to create more empathetic and engaging robotic companions.
