About

Moonhee Lee is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction and healthcare, with a primary focus on therapeutic robotics. Her landmark 2005 study, "Design Issues for Therapeutic Robot Systems: Results from a Survey of Physiotherapists," with 82 citations, established foundational principles for designing robots that assist in physical rehabilitation. By systematically gathering insights from practicing physiotherapists, Lee identified critical usability and safety requirements that bridge the gap between engineering and clinical practice. Her earlier work on model-driven interactive system design further advanced the field by proposing structured frameworks for developing therapy robots that are both responsive and intuitive for patients and therapists. Lee’s contributions have shaped how robotic systems are conceptualized for therapeutic settings, emphasizing user-centered design and real-world clinical needs. Her research remains highly influential for engineers, clinicians, and students developing assistive technologies, offering a roadmap for creating robots that enhance patient outcomes while respecting the expertise of healthcare professionals.
