About

Seon-Woo Lee is a pioneering figure in biomedical micro-robotics and wireless power transmission, with foundational contributions to in vivo medical devices and autonomous systems. His most cited work, the 2005 paper "Design of Two-Dimensional Coils for Wireless Power Transmission to In Vivo Robotic Capsule," introduced a novel two-dimensional receiving coil architecture that enables stable power delivery (hundreds of milli-watts) to orientation-agnostic robotic capsules via inductive links—a critical breakthrough for untethered gastrointestinal diagnostics. This work, garnering 14 citations, established design principles for class E amplifier-driven transmitters and coil geometries that remain influential in implantable device research. Earlier, Lee demonstrated his engineering creativity with the autonomous micro-robot "Kity" (1997, 9 citations), a compact maze-solving platform that showcased early advances in embedded control and sensor integration for small-scale robotics. His research bridges theoretical coil design with practical biomedical applications, offering students a clear example of how electromagnetic engineering solves real-world constraints in medical devices. Lee’s work continues to inspire innovations in wireless power for capsule endoscopy and targeted drug delivery systems.
