About

Seongki Lee is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics, construction engineering, and sustainable deconstruction. His work addresses critical challenges in the built environment, focusing on developing automated and intelligent systems for on-site construction and building disassembly. Lee’s major contributions include proposing a comprehensive framework for robot-assisted deconstruction, which integrates process modeling, sub-system design, and scalable automation to tackle the growing problem of construction and demolition waste—a sector that produces a significant proportion of global waste. His 2015 paper on this topic, with 18 citations, is a foundational reference for researchers seeking systematic, sustainable solutions for building refurbishment. Additionally, Lee has advanced tele-robotic systems by incorporating augmented reality (AR) to enhance remote control and precision in construction tasks, addressing the complexity and labor-intensity of traditional processes. His work on AR-based tele-robotic architectures, though with 3 citations, demonstrates a forward-looking approach to merging human intuition with machine accuracy. Through these innovations, Lee is shaping a future where construction is safer, more efficient, and environmentally responsible, making him a key figure in the evolution of automated construction and circular economy practices.
