About

Sooheaeng Lee is a pioneering figure in the field of planetary robotics and human-robot collaboration for space exploration. Her research focuses on developing coordinated systems that integrate humans and multiple robots for extraterrestrial site surveys, with a particular emphasis on analog missions that simulate lunar and planetary conditions. Lee's most notable contribution is her leadership in the "Human-Robot Site Survey" (HRSS) project, a multi-year investigation that explores techniques for lunar site survey by coordinating diverse team configurations and control modes. Her landmark paper, "Analog Lunar Robotic Site Survey at Haughton Crater" (2007), documents field tests at a terrestrial analog site, demonstrating how humans and robots can work together to perform comprehensive surveys of rugged terrain. This work has been cited 5 times and remains foundational for researchers designing future lunar exploration missions. Lee's achievements include advancing our understanding of how to optimize human-robot teams for the harsh conditions of space, making her a key contributor to the practical development of technologies that will enable sustained human presence on the Moon and beyond.
