About
Min Kyoung Lee is a robotics researcher whose work centers on the design, modeling, and control of novel mobile robots, particularly ballbots and ball segways. Her most impactful contribution is the development of a full-scale, rideable ball segway—a single spherical-tire robot capable of carrying a human passenger. In her landmark 2016 paper (19 citations), she derived a simplified 3D dynamic model from the robot’s kinematics and implemented balancing and translation control, demonstrating stable locomotion with a human rider. This work bridges the gap between small-scale ballbots and practical personal mobility platforms, showcasing her expertise in nonlinear dynamics, control theory, and human-robot interaction. Lee’s research has been cited in subsequent studies on ballbot control, human-carrying robots, and balancing mechanisms, reflecting its influence in the field. Her achievements highlight a commitment to pushing the boundaries of mobile robotics, making her a notable figure in the development of intuitive, human-scale robotic transportation.
