About
Sungon Lee is a robotics researcher whose work spans mobile robot control, service robotics, medical robotics, and intelligent manipulation. With over 300 cumulative citations, Lee has made lasting contributions to the field of autonomous systems and human-assistive technologies. Lee's early foundational work focused on mobile robot control theory, including his highly cited 2002 paper on target-tracking control for unicycle mobile robots (114 citations) and subsequent research on parking and posture stabilization for car-like mobile robots — problems central to autonomous navigation. These contributions addressed fundamental nonholonomic control challenges with practical, implementable algorithms. His research then expanded into service robotics, highlighted by the development of the home service robot "ISSAC," reflecting a broader vision for robots operating in everyday human environments. In parallel, Lee pioneered innovative medical and biomedical applications, including high-speed visual feedback-controlled image stabilization for in vivo microscopy and a wearable robotic positioning system for transcranial focused ultrasound stimulation. More recently, Lee has integrated deep learning with robotic manipulation for intelligent grasping and explored robotic systems for transcranial magnetic stimulation in clinical depression treatment. This trajectory demonstrates a researcher consistently bridging rigorous control theory with meaningful real-world impact across healthcare and autonomous systems.
