About
Sooyong Lee is a pioneering robotics researcher whose work spans mobile robot navigation, teleoperation, and human-robot interaction. His most impactful contributions center on localization techniques for autonomous mobile robots, particularly his development of optical flow sensor-based localization (52 citations) and infrared light reflecting landmark systems (33 citations)—methods that enable accurate, cost-effective navigation in indoor environments. Lee has also made significant advances in force-feedback teleoperation, designing pneumatic-actuated master arms and master hands (30 citations) and developing perturbation/correlation methods for force-guided robot assembly (24 citations). His integrated approach to human-robot systems is exemplified by work on humanoid robot control, combining human interfaces, automatic planning, and graphical simulation for robots with over 60 joints. Lee’s research on exoskeleton-type master arms with force reflection further demonstrates his commitment to creating intuitive, responsive teleoperation systems. With a career spanning foundational work in mobile robot localization to advanced human-robot integration, Lee’s contributions have established practical frameworks for personal robots and teleoperated systems that balance autonomy with human control.
