About
Dr. Lee Ming Jun Melivin is a pioneering researcher in intelligent robotics and infrastructure inspection, with a focus on AI-enabled autonomous systems for hazardous environments. His most notable contribution is the development of the reconfigurable robot Raptor, integrated with an Internet of Robotic Things (IoRT) framework for drain structural defect detection and mapping. This work, published in 2021 with 12 citations, addresses the critical challenge of replacing dangerous, labor-intensive human visual inspections of drainage systems with a safer, more efficient robotic solution. By designing a four-layer IoRT architecture that bridges users with robotic agents, Dr. Lee enables real-time remote monitoring and AI-driven defect analysis in confined, high-risk spaces. His research sits at the intersection of robotics, artificial intelligence, and civil infrastructure, demonstrating how reconfigurable hardware combined with deep learning can transform maintenance workflows. Dr. Lee’s work has significant implications for smart city development and public safety, offering a scalable model for automated underground asset management. His innovative approach to combining mechanical reconfigurability with edge AI continues to inspire new directions in field robotics and infrastructure resilience.
