About
Woo Ho Lee is a pioneering roboticist whose research spans modular reconfigurable robotics, distributed control, and advanced sensor fabrication for robotic skins. His most influential work focuses on the dynamic locomotion and control of highly redundant modular robots, particularly the Tetrobot system, where he developed distributed control architectures that enable these shape-changing mechanisms to perform complex rolling and tipping behaviors. Lee’s foundational papers on dynamic rolling locomotion and distributed control have garnered over 75 and 47 citations, respectively, establishing him as a key contributor to modular robotics theory. In a significant shift toward human-robot interaction, Lee later pioneered the use of electrohydrodynamic (EHD) printing to fabricate flexible pressure and strain sensor arrays on non-uniform substrates, a breakthrough that enables multimodal robotic skins for unstructured environments. His work on automated MEMS assembly further demonstrates his versatility in micromanufacturing. With a career that bridges theoretical dynamics and practical sensor integration, Lee’s research continues to influence the development of adaptable, sensor-rich robotic systems capable of safe and intuitive interaction with humans.
